Northern Indiana also has Peru, Chile, Frankfort, Galveston, and Mexico. We took the kids and the camera and managed a "world tour" in just a few hours. ;)

As they say in KCMO, "Peculiar, MO? What an odd name for a town".

The town's founders might have added that exclamation point had they ever forseen a Hillary Clinton representing their state.

My favorite was the sign on the interstate in S.C. pointing out that "Prosperity" was the exit to the right and "Clinton" was to the left.

A derivative is a favorite of virtually every TV football commentator, most of whom can't resist calling the offensive linemen "the big uglies."

Until a few years there was a "Nigger Bayou" in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida. They changed it to "Chula Vista Bayou".
