Odd/Funny/Interesting City Names

[yanksfan6129]

Off the top of my head

Paradise, PA
Santa Claus, IN
North Pole, NY
Intercourse, PA

I could certainly do more, but I'll let others add.

[Alex]

Two Egg, FL its not much, but there are small guide signs along FL 69 for it.
Cocked Hat, DE always amused me.
Blue Ball and Lititz tend to go with Intercourse, PA for the trifecta.

[FLRoads]

There is also Spuds, Florida and Humptulips, Washington

[yanksfan6129]

There are many foreign curse word places. Should I? Or should I just not say?

[mightyace]

There's also Bird in Hand, PA near Paradise and Intercourse.

Also in my home state are California, PA and Indiana, PA.  They both have state universities.

California University of Pa and Indiana University of Pa

Now, 20-30 years ago, they were still "colleges" so they were
California State College and Indiana State College!

[rawr apples]

Intercourse, PA
Climax, PA
Boring,OR
Walla Walla, WA
Beaverton,OR

[mightyace]

Kissimmee, FL
Apopka, FL
Elephant Butte, NM (right next to Truth or Consequences, NM)
Hackberry, AZ
Covered Wells, AZ

[deathtopumpkins]

Santa Claus, IL

[Voyager]

You can say them, just bleep out the bad parts.

[Darkchylde]

Bagdad, LA

(Yes, it's spelled that way)

[Tarkus]

One of my favorites has to be the former town of Bakeoven, Oregon, which is situated along the appropriately named Bakeoven Road, running between US 197 in Maupin and US 97 near Shaniko.  Of course, calling it a town is a stretch--most of the buildings were carted away in pieces and taken to Shaniko.

Along those lines, I'd also add:

Bell Buckle, Tennessee
Drain, Oregon
George, Washington
Glide, Oregon
Kalamazoo, Michigan
Kittitas, Washington (if you say it fast)
Klamath Falls, Oregon (because there's no falls anywhere nearby)
Satus, Washington
Twodot, Montana
Yoncalla, Oregon
Yreka, California

[Tarkus]

Nobody mentioned Weed, CA? 

That's a good one.  A major highway junction, too, as US 97 has its southern terminus with I-5 there, too.

I agree. I was up the Northway just today, and I really realized how interesting those capital region of NY names are! There's nothing inherently weird about them, but for some reason they interesting/attractive.
