I think the towns of Chester and Metropolis in Illinois fit this description.
Chester was the home Elzie Segar, creator of Popeye the Sailor Man. The town has a 6-foot tall statue of the character along with a Popeye museum, an annual Popeye-themed picnic and parade, buildings with Popeye murals, and businesses named after characters in the Popeye cartoons.
Metropolis shares its name with the ficticious city from the Superman series. As with Chester, the town has a huge statue of Superman, a Super Museum, an annual Superman Celebration, and references to the superhero at every turn.

Reason: New rules: when posting images that aren't our own, we just post the links. We should've been doing this all along. Oh well!
Don't get me wrong, I really love West Virginia, but some of the people there look like they were drawn by Warner Bros animators on bad acid trips.
lol, is that a good thing?
