Larry Byrd is from French Lick, IN. The most exciting tourism spot in this state is Cementville!

KY has quite a few odd names for their towns.

There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

Y'all might want to check out "Storyville, USA" by Dale Peterson. They pick 60 weird town names, then over the course of a couple of summers, drive to all of them and find out the stories behind the names.

Whats wrong with Dimebox, TX? I like ODB, TX, though...Old Dime Box. "You down with the ODB?"

I drive through those all the time, they're only about 30 minutes west of College Station on Hwy 21.

Booger Hollow

When we drove by it once, we postulated that the non-natives pronounced it "Boo-zhay" so they wouldn't sound like hicks.

Of course, that'd be French now

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)
