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 used to live in Plano, TX. I can still remember seeing the front page of the paper one day (when I was like 10 years old) – it said Plano isn’t Plain-o.

I always have to drive through the small town of Flippin, AR on my way to visit my mom. When my husband first came home with me, he couldn’t get over the name. Every time we passed a sign in that town he said, “Look, there’s the flippin’ Walmart!” or “There’s the flippin’ Baptist Church!” Very reminiscent of Napoleon Dynamite! :)
