not as weird as the direction to come ashore at Le Havre instead of Plymouth or Southampton.

That's big Worms. Steer clear.

And walk without rhythm.

It makes sense because you have to stock up with some decent booze first. Let's be clear, after all that swimming, you might need an energy drink.

Mexican Hat (new mexico or arizona?)
and
Mexican Water (nm or az)

You come to a fork in the highway and one way goes to Hat and one way goes to Water.

Cockermouth will forever be my favourite of these.

Though there apparently is both a Whitesville and a Browntown in Indiana since I looked them up and they hit.but yeah. Off I-65 on either side. Very well marked. The wife and I laugh every time we see it and we've been going that way for 10 years now...never gets old...

There is also Knawbone Indiana, right outside Nashville

Surprised no one's mentioned White Settlement, Texas:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White\_Settlement,\_TexasOn October 14, 2005, city leaders announced a plan to have local voters decide on a possible name change for the town from White Settlement to West Settlement. In the November 8 election, the name change was overwhelmingly rejected by a vote of 2,388 to 219.

There's also a town called Cumming in Georgia, but it's not in Butts County. To clarify, there's no Cumming in Butts. I think maybe it's Kentucky where there's a town called Brownstown or Brownsville or something and then shortly after there's a Whitesville. I probably have the order mixed up, but I always notice those when driving down south.
