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!
On my way to college I would always pass Shartlesville, Pa. I always got a laugh out of it.
Liz says
MAINE ME!!
Bridget says
Maine Me!
This isn’t a city, but there’s a road down in San Diego called Las Pulgas. Translation: The Fleas. I know, random.
Annie says
Maine Me! I grew up in “Summer Shade,” KY and lived on Goodluck Rd! Also in the same county are towns called “Chicken Bristle” and “Subtle” (the B is not silent)! So funny.
Amy says
MAINE ME!
There is a town here in California not too far from where I live called Los Banos. Which with my limited Spanish speaking abilities translates to “the bathrooms” I think.

reyanna says
MAINE ME! (Please?)
Hubby grew up in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. But everyone there just calls it “T or C” said more like, “Tee-er-see” when you say it fast! LOL. It’s one of the silliest (and coolest) sounding town names I know of! There’s a great story behind the name too! (Named after a game-show that came to town! LOL.)
Thanks for the chance to win! Love your blog! One of my faves. :-)

MAINE ME!!!
I grew up in Birdsboro, Pennsylvania. I didn’t think it was so strange until I moved to Michigan and people would laugh when I told them.
The area of PA I grew up in is full of fun names…Blue Ball, Paradise, Intercourse, Bird in Hand… I think I prefer Birdsboro. :)
Cyclist Kate says
MAINE ME!
I grew up in Fairbanks, Alaska and the state is full of little towns with funny names…including “Chicken, AK,” so named because they (as the story goes) couldn’t spell the state bird’s name: ptarmigan.
Katy says
Maine Me!!

Cecily T says
MAINE ME!!
I don’t know that the names are all that unusual, but people frequently mispronounce towns around me:
There’s:
Reading (pronounced ‘redding’, not ‘reading’ as in “I’m reading a book)
Ephrata (ef-er-ta, NOT U-frat-a)
Lancaster (not LAN’-caster, but more like lank-ister)
Deborah says
“Maine Me!”
Absolutely love love coastal Maine!
How about Bumpas, Virginia (which is near Lake Anna)

My in-laws have a cabin near Beatyville, Ky. The name itself is not funny, but the locals pronounce it “Bet-uh-vul” which we found quite interesting.
