I used to spend hours poring through Road Atlases looking for funny town
names...and visited them if I ever got close. Went through Hot Coffee,
Mississippi
and Eighty-Four (forgot the state)! Worth mentioning is a tiny village west
of
Hamilton, Ont'o., Canada...a sign gives its name as "Dogs Nest," Ontario!
