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

I can’t think of any funny city names at the moment, but there is an intersection here in Omaha, NE that makes me laugh whenever I drive by/think of it. It’s 69th and Cuming.
What’s really funny is that there are houses at that intersection, too. Can you imagine having that address? :)

Maine Me!
I live near Surprise, AZ – kind of a fun name! :)

I can’t think of a funny one right now, but an odd one that comes to mind is Sault Ste. Marie, MI. It’s pronounced Sue Saint Marie. I’m also a fan of Mackinac, MI, pronounced Mack-in-aw.

I live in Denver, CO (nothing crazy there) but we do have a town in Colorado called Loveland, very sweet. For Valentine’s Day you can even have your cards sent special delivery through Loveland where they get a special Loveland stamp!

I live in Dublin…dublin, California that is.
JC says
MAINE ME!
I love Kennebunkport! The area of Washington DC called “Foggy Bottom” always gets a snicker out of tourists who hear the name called by the Metro conductor!

MAINE ME! Half.com, OR
In 1999, Half.com’s marketing team made a visit to the town of Halyway, Oregon to ask the mayor to change the name to Half.com. Although reluctant at first, the mayor took the request up with city council for further discussion. Half.com offered financial support to the community if they agreed to change the name. On January 19, 2000, Half.com become the first dot com city in the world.
