Peru, Massachusetts - yes, you read that right. There is a town in Massachusetts named after another country, as well as one named for a color, and one named for a state ...

Peru, Massachusetts is a small town in Western Massachusetts, nestled in the Berkshires. With a population of 838, it also has the highest mean altitude of any town in the state. It's pretty small, and only one state road goes through it - so you kinda don't go there unless you intend to. Lots of trees ... which is a plus in my book.

So the next one is U

Ulan Bator is the capital and largest city of Mongolia. I'ts population as of 2008 is just over 1 million. Located in the north central part of the country, the city lies at an elevation of about 1,310 metres (4,300 ft) in a valley on the Tuul River. It is the cultural, industrial, and financial heart of the country. It is also the center of Mongolia's road network, and connected by rail to the Trans-Siberian Railway and the Chinese railway network.

The city was founded in 1639 as an initially nomadic Buddhist monastic centre. In 1778 it settled permanently at its present location, the junction of the Tuul and Selbe rivers. Before that it had changed location 28 times, with each location being chosen ceremonially. In the 20th century, Ulan Bator grew into a major manufacturing centre.

Roanoke Virginia Has a Metro Population of around 300,000. It is located in the Blueridge Mountains with the Blueridge Parkway and Appalachian trail going right through a part of town. I lived in Roanoke 3 seperate times a year at a time. Roanoke is the only place other than the "Over the Mountain Area" of Birmingham that I considered as a Retirement location. I have lived all over the World and Roanoke would have been my second choice, Both areas are in the Appalachian mountains with Chelsea being at its Terminus in the foothills of Double Oak Mountain.
