Let's see...
Hell, MI
Paradise, MI
Truth or Consequences, NM
French Lick, IN (Larry Bird's home town!)
and, a place, not a town... "Gay Head Cliffs" on Martha's Vineyard (an island off Massachusetts)

There's also the official name of Webster Lake in MA: Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg (my keyboard isn't sticking... that's the actual name!)

Strange city, town names. (IMO)

No Photos, but 3 come to mind from my travels that seemed different
1)Skookumchuck, Brish Columbia... What is a Skookumchuck?
2) Normal, Illinois.... Normal police dept, Normal fire dept, etc..
3) Gay, Ga.... I'm sure this town was named before the "GAY" term was connected to the Homosexuals
