Can you imagine saying "I am from Hicksville"?:rolleyes:
LOL I use to live not to far from there and a old friend still lives there. So she does have to say "I am from Hicksville"
There's also a town around there somewhere that was called Possum Hill.
Just a few towns I know of in Florida.

Bumble Bee, Arizona
Surprise, Arizona (I think the surprise is that there is nothing at all in that town!)
I don't think Wyoming has any terribly wierd town names ... nothing that sounds dirty, at any rate. ;) Welllll ... I take that back. We have the Grand Teton mountain range, which means "large breasts" in French.
Here are our most unusual town names:
Acme
Aladdin
Baggs
Bar Nunn
Chugwater
Crowheart
Elmo
Little America
Meeteetse
Moose
Muddy Gap
Recluse
Tie Siding
Smoot

There's a city in Connecticut called Mianus. :D LOL!
Hicksville, Ohio
River Styx, Ohio
The one that comes to mind right now is Between, GA. It's kind of amusing to call someone on the cell phone as you are driving through. When they ask where you are, the honest answer is "I'm in Between.":) There is also a little town in our county called Parrott, GA.
:eek: I wouldn't like to be from that city.Quote:
