    Yeah, every state here seems to have a Falling Rock. Evidently they're all just real small towns, and located off the main highway, 'cause I've never seen or driven through one.

    Also, Highway 196 in Michigan is known as the Gerald R. Ford Freeeway, and it has a "Covert" exit.

    My brother's boss once asked him to come up with some "french-sounding" street names for a subdivision the guy was doing. My brother suggested "Rue de Valley," Rue de Day," and Rue de Toot-Toot."

    How about:

    Intercourse, Pa
    Bird in Hand, Pa
    Hell, TX
    Truth or Consequences, NM
    Sandwich, IL

    Place Names

    Turkey Foot Rd in Bourbon, MO and Hog Trough (a bridge) in Steelville, MO are 2 of my favorites.

    For "towns" you have Frankenstein, MO and Bem, MO
