"The planet that dare not utter its name" placemarker.

Interestingly there is a town in the U.S. named after every planet--but one. Clarification: for each planet (save one) there is a town in the U.S. named after that planet.

Reasons: (1) Nobody wants to live in Uranus; (2) Nobody wants to ask directions: "Hey buddy, how do I get to Uranus?"
