Then there's our southerly neighbor, Lake Jackson, Texas, with street names such as Any Way, and This Way, which intersects That Way. I have found His Way, but have yet to locate Wrong Way!

There is a Mechanicsville in the Southern part Maryland. I specifically mention it as Southern as those of use from that area want to be distingushed from the nut jobs in the rest of the state :)

good one's brian. i always wanted to start a savings account at "tightwad bank".

there is also "racket" right down the road. i wouldn't want to get in trouble in "racket". sounds like a money sieve.

In the early eighties, we used to go down to Spokane for the AHRA drags in August, and on the way back, almost to the B.C. Border, there was a little place call Good Grief, Idaho. All that was there was little on wood building, which was a BAR.....and both times we tried to stop in, it was closed:(.....seems the owners were pretty casual about business hours:):)

The Eastern shore is the same way, we don't like to associate with the rest of the State, I wish they would tear down the Bay Bridge and leave us alone.
