Weird City Names
Here's an amusing list of weird city and town names. Of course, I immediately wondered if all these names were real, so I checked a random sample in Mapquest. Nothing came up for Hornytown, North Carolina (a google search didn't turn up any offical website for it either, though there is a widespread report, probably false, that Hornytown has banned massage parlors). Nor was there a Love Ladies, New Jersey in Mapquest. That doesn't mean Hornytown and Love Ladies don't exist. It's just that I can't find them. However, according to Mapquest it would be possible to take a road trip from Intercourse, Pennsylvania to Hooker, Arkansas, with a quick stop in Hot Coffee, Mississippi, and finishing up in Climax, North Carolina.
Update: Apparently there is a 'Love Ladies' in New Jersey, but it's spelled all as one word: Loveladies, NJ. However, I've still found no evidence that there's a Hornytown in North Carolina, although there is a Hornyhead Mountain.
Update 2: By randomly typing words into Mapquest it turns out to be quite easy to come up with weird place names. In just a few minutes I came up with these: Shite Creek, Idaho; Trash Branch, Alabama; Weird Lake, Minnesota; and Dork Canal, Oregon.

I nearly forgot two classic Western Australian suburbs: where would you prefer to live? Upper Swan or Innaloo?

There's indeed a horneytown, along with a horneytown road.

I live about 5 minutes away, and one of my good friends is volunteer at the horneytown fire department.

Ever heard about a place called "Nothing" in Arizona? Funny, but it really exists!

Yup, there is, indeed Horneytown, NC. Note that it is spelled with an 'e' between the 'n' and the 'y'.

The reason I found this site was I googled Hornytown because I saw a picture of a Pierce fire truck (made in Wis) with the name Hornytown on it and wondered were it was. So Hannah I've seen your friend's fire truck.
