[corksean]

7. I've got to go to Lickskillet, love that one

[lazarus]

13. It's in northeast Bama

Literally just a few miles from Dogtown. Same county as Ider, Stamp, High Point, and Skaggs Crossroads. And Rodentown.

[fleabert]

Kentucky and Alabama are funny states.

[corksean]

They mean "Big Head" and "Red stick" in French.

[RadicalMom]

[KitchenWitch]

[Qanisqineq]

Chugwater -- how silly!

[fleabert]

19. KY- Possum Trot, Monkey's Eyebrow, Big Beaver Lick, Big Bone Lick,

Bee Lick
Black Gnat
Shoulder Blade

there's a bunch more, but these are the best by far IMO. KY really kicks everyone's ass with Big Bone & Beaver Lick, I have actually seen Big Bone Lick Park...I laughed every time I drove past the sign.

[lazarus]

21. you folks are into licks, I see

Alabama has a lot of crossings, instead.

[fleabert]

29. I only lived there for two years! Sadly, it's not much of an improvement

that I am from Texas...but licks are nice, now that you mention it.

I'm talking about Tootsie Pops, of course. Yum.

[SweetLeftFoot]

22. Dingle

[Vektor]

30. Rough and Ready, CA

Never been there...

[Bridget Burke]

32. Cut & Shoot, Texas

Now almost overtaken by Houston's urban sprawl. In a similar vein: Gun Barrel City & Point Blank.

Texas also boasts Notrees (out near Odessa--& apparently they've got some trees now), Muleshoe & Dime Box.

Head towards San Antonio & you may cross Woman Hollering Creek. The name may be derived from the legend of La Llorona--the wailing ghost of a woman who drowned her child.
