Was just wondering how many unusual city names y'all have heard of. (Like Shake Rag, GA and Hell, MI.) Or city names normally associated with another place. (Like Atlanta, ID and Paris, TX. Or Mexico, MO) I mean no disrespect to anyone from the cities or states they're in. But you gotta admit, some names are unusual. I used to live in Tooele, UT. (Now who can pronounce that one correctly ? )

Default Blue Ball and Intercourse Pa.

Interesting little town from many years ago and now not located on most maps now, however they can be found on google.maps without any problems. The small town of “Blue Ball, Pa located next to New Holland and just east of Lancaster but more important is that it’s located just north of Intercourse, Pa.

Kentucky has some wonderful little towns and areas called: Greasy Creek, Penile, Barefoot, Poverty, Dwarf, Marrowbone, Skullbuster There are thousands of funny names. My husband was born in Lookout. His dad was born in Hellier. Meathouse is right down Johns creek, and just above Stinkin Branch, which is between Rattlesnake, but a little ways from Coon Creek.
