Wow Madyson, I can't believe that you
included that we have the largest
insaine asylum.

look bad!

So we are trying to name weird city names, and no one mentions,
Normal
Gaylord
Sinton (sin-ton)
singedface
Pottymouth
Grannysmith
Willywoo
or
Testtickle (test-tickle like testicle)
All in IL.
I have lived in Normal my whole life,
but just recently learned that it was home to the
states largest insaine-asylum,
which hasn't been in operation
since 1939,
but is still cool,
it is called,
Normal Peoples City Insaine Asylum!!!
it's true...!
Granted the current population
is 15 people,
and I hate it here.

All the talk about Arkansas, and no one mentions Goobertown!!!! It's right down the road from Jonesboro. I'm sure the people that live there just LOVE that.

heheee I was at my mates house looking at her US map, we found an Eagle Butte somewhere in the middle- maybe S Dakota? If we ever going to the US we'll definetly go to sugarland in Texas! Hope it lives up to the name!

Satan's Kingdom in Vermont isn't a town. It's what you'd probably call a locality.

@UpstateDubliner-

Shees, I can't believe I forgot Painted Post. I grew up in Corning, and my sister and her family live in Painted Post!

I guess familiarity breeds neglect.

I live in Slapout, Alabama and we are no longer just a little crossroads. We now boast 3 restuarants, 4 churches, carpet & tile store, propane supplier, hair salon in addition to the barber shop, a tire and auto repair, a massage therapisy, tanning salon, a video store, dollar store, drug store,produce stand, elementary, middle and high schools, and a small grocery store in the place of the old Peeples' store (which, by the way, had a dirt floor and only a screen door). Slapout has become a thriving lake community and is considered the capital of Lake Jordan.

I would be happy to send you some pictures for your article, you can reach me at livinon227easyst@msn.com

When visiting my grandparents in Alabama, not only did we go through Slapout to get there, we also drove through Smuteye and Blues Old Stand!
