I'm an Iowegian by birth, and Iowa has some good 'uns, like What Cheer and Lost Nation. Then there's Embarrass, WI (and MN), and plenty others, if I think long and hard, I'll bet I can come up with a list. 73, Steve Lawrence Burnsville, Minnesota Every moment of a human life is an act of worship.

Then there's Embarrass, WI (and MN), and plenty others, if I think long and hard, I'll bet I can come up with a list. 73, Steve Lawrence I think those types of town names show that the people had a good sense of humor when naming a town, even in hard times. There is an old, small community in Ohio called Blue Ball. The signpost is a large blue ball erected in 1823 for people who couldn't read. The community that grew up around it took on the name Blue Ball. Quote: Thomas VAIL built a log-house at what is now the Blue Ball, in 1821, and kept entertainment. He sold to Jonathan EMMONS in 1823, who erected a sign in front of his house, which was simply a round ball painted blue. The place derived its name from this circumstance. The blue ball has been conspicuously displayed continuously ever since. from: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohbutler/cyc/623.htm When you drive north out of Middletown Ohio on I-75 one of the overpasses has a sign "Germantown Road" There is a similar overpass on I-75 near gainsville Florida with the same name on the same kind of sign. Kind of makes you homesick, sometimes. -- Former professional electron wrangler. Michael A. Terrell Central Florida |
