That’s because Spaces Kennebunkport– the shop behind today’s prize- embodies just the type of comfortable seaside home accents that Sherry and I love. Never mind that we can barely spell the name… we still want to eat up everything in their store. Have no fear if you also can’t make it out to K-town. Spaces Kennebunkport has an awesome

Maine Me!
I should make this a stop on my way to my grandmother’s this summer. I don’t think it’s strange, but I live in Worcester, MA. If outsiders can pronounce it (woo-ster) they typically can’t spell it, and if they can spell it, they typically cannot pronounce it.

MAIN ME!
I once stopped at a small town in Illinois, driving from Oklahoma to Chicago. I can’t remember the name of the small town, but it had a sign pointing to another small town– Funk’s Grove! It seemed really hilarious after being on the road for 12 hours.

Erica M says
MAINE ME!
can’t think of anything too weird, but Normal, IL must be the ironic opposite of weird town names…
Leigh Anne says
MAINE ME! Kentucky is full of funny names – including Monkey’s Eyebrow, KY:)
Katie says
Maine Me please!
There’s a town called Ritzville in the center of Washington that definitely is not ritzy at all. In fact, I think it’s pretty much a gas station and some Interstate fast food joints.
tiffany says
And Cecily — I grew up in central CA, I always thought Zzyzx was just a road. It is a TOWN too?? huh… weird.
Meagan says
MAINE ME! Being from the great state of Texas we have a TON of towns w/ funny names… I have a hard time picking one so heres a site http://forums.bands.org/vb/showthread.php?t=30364 that list a bunch!

Jody says
MAINE ME!!
I can’t think of a weird town name…sorry, I grew up in a town called Stewartville and everyone referred to it as “Hooterville”. Nice, right?!
Anne says
Maine Me!! We live near Cockeysville MD…
Chelsea says
MAINE ME! We live in Vermont – there are lots of towns here that aren’t on a map that no doubt have great names!
Davy says
Definitely Maine Me!
The funniest name near my hometown is the name of the next county over — Skamania County. A friend from college who was a fan of ska music had to have a picture next to the ‘Entering Skamania County’ sign when he came and visited.
Melissa says

Sara Rigdon says

Amanda says
MAINE ME!!!
Nothing comes to mind, I’m from the Midwest where there are plenty of fun and unique names, so maybe they all seem normal to me now!
Liv says
MAINE ME!!
I’m from Maine, and the weirdest thing about the cities/towns there is how the locals pronounce them. I never developed a Maine accent, but I sure do love hearing it!
Tara says
MAINE ME!
There’s a Venice, FL, on the west coast and when I say we’re vacationing in “Venice” people look at me like I have 10 heads thinking it’s either california or italy lol :) that’s all I got!
Melissa MacGregor says
Maine Me! How about Chicopee, MA? My in-laws live there and I still giggle every time I see it on a road sign.
Alison says
Maine me! Woo hoo!
Kelly says
MAINE ME!
I live near lots of towns with “interesting” names, such as Oconomowoc.
Becky says
MAINE ME!! We loved Kennebunkport & The Colony Hotel, so if you ever go, we’d definitely recommend it! Very nice and they have dog beds in the lobby, so your first little one would be welcome!

Pewaukee, WI. Always makes me think of Pee Wee Herman.

jennalou says
Maine Me!!!
When I was in 4th grade I remember that I picked Arizona as the state I wanted to live in some day. The reason was because there was a town on the map called Strawberry. I just googled it to see if that really was true and it really is. Looks like just a really small place, but they sure have a sweet name.

Emily S says

My fave town name is Pie Town, New Mexico. Sadly, the town does not live up to its name.
Jacquelin Seybert says
MAINE ME! There is a city called Zzyzik on the way to Las Vegas. It isn’t super close to us, but when we drive by, we always comment.
