Hmmmm, I can’t really think of any weird names of towns that I’ve driven through. I’ve really only driven through Wyoming and Utah to get to Idaho from Colorado. Guess we’re pretty boring.

I grew up in Mt.Vernon, OH which was cool in the 80’s, not b/c of the reference to George Washington’s estate, but b/c it was abbreviated MTV. Again, cool in the 80’s.
