Does your state have funny-sounding, small, unincorporated areas with funny names?
Recently, severe thunderstorm warnings were posted for parts of Tennessee. A radar device posts on the television for times a storm will approach certain towns and small unincorporated areas. Some of these areas have made me laugh with their “off the wall names”, like: Soddy Daisy, Buck Snort and Turkey Track, Tennessee. Each state has these small areas of people with funny names. Question: Can you name some of these areas, in your state, that have names that make you laugh?
