In simsbury, there is a climax road. ct also has th gay city state park "Gay City was first settled in 1796 by a religious sect led by Elijah Andrus and later by Rev. Henry P. Sumner. The Gays soon comprised the majority of the 25 or more families who then lived in the community. The residents kept strictly to themselves, existing as distinctly separate from the neighboring communities. "
I always got a chuckle out of the fact that one of the next towns over is Paradise, PA!!!:laugh: :laugh: My sister used to live in Encinitas, CA on the corner of 'F' and '4th'. Quite funny when giving directions verbally!!:Brow: :grin:

Here in NE there is a town called "Beaver Crossing" and straight south is a town called "Friend." I tried to sell insurance down there once. Those people were anything but "Friend-ly!"

Couple of them last 3-4 lack real laughter appeal. Beaver along isn't enough to be funny. You need words like Big to make Beaver funny. Or Big Bone Lick State Park, with out Big its loses its appeal. Cause you know when they just use Beaver Lake or Bone Lick they had no fun intended. But when they toss in the word Big. Well you know someone was tokin up that day.
There's a street here in Utah called "Wayne's World Drive"... I found it to be amusing, esspecially because its on the upscale ritzy part of town. ~Stampy
Re: Mcdonalds When Greg, Eric and I lived in North Platte, NE we had a Hardy's there that had a marquis and one night they had spelled out on it, "WE HAVE CHICKEN STRIPS." Greg took the last off of "strips" and put it on "chicken" and took a pic of it. Don't know what ever happened to the pic but it would have been perfect for posting here. BTW, the sign stayed that way for days!:laugh: I used to work for a guy named "Richard Tweedy" Last name self explanatory, but his dad's name was also "Richard" and he went by the nickname, "Dick." Rich said as a kid they'd go to town and others would say, "Here comes 'Big Dick' and 'Little Dick.'" :laugh: Also, his birthday was on the 24th of December. Another guy we worked with used to tease him about getting laid two days out of the year--his birthday and Christmas. It started at 11:55PM on his birthday and ended at 12:05AM on Christmas!ou: :grin:
