Fun Names of Towns!

I believe I have mentioned the town of Marrowbone at some point in this blog, if not, well, yes, it is a real town.  I have not been able to find out the reason it was named this. There are also TWO Marrowbones.  So if I ever have a corgi picnic down here, I have to make sure people get to the right one!

 We also have Eighty Eight and Forty Four down here.  So I grabbed the map and have found some more fun names here.
Good Night
Knob Lick (Anything with the name Knob or Lick drives Jerry into giggles....got to love that 60 year old teenaged mind)
Nobob (No Bob!  Just for Helen!)
Dog Lick
Bandana
Beaverlick
Bee Springs
Broad Fields
Bluehole
Bimble
Cranks
Flippin (one  of Jerry's favorites)
Dog Walk
Dwarf
Gap in Knob
Fourmile
Goldbug
Indian Hills (not so unusual but there are three towns named that!)
Kinniconick (wonder if this is like Kinnikinick?)
Linefork (what exactly IS a linefork?  And where can I get one?)
Louella
Mousie
Moon
Oddville
PeeDee
Peoples
Quicksand
Rabbit Hash (I think this would be my second or third choice to live in!)
Apparently for some years they vote in local dogs as Mayor of Rabbit Hash.  Here is Lucy Lou, one of the previous Mayors:

Raccoon
Redfox
Ringos Mill

Sassafras
Science Hill
Shopville (let's go!~)
Shoulderblade
Soft Shell
Skylight

I love the name Summer Shade and am so glad we live here, but Marrowbone just is a perfect place to live if you have dogs....
