I never knew about those names. Interesting. Wonder what the history is behind them? But I am glad that the legilature has nothing like a billion dollar defficite to worry about so that they can address things like this.

(Is "Blowing Rock" still OK, or does that offend the gays?)

Or "Floyd's Knob", Indiana, or Sugar Tit, Kentucky, or Blue Ball Kentucky...perhaps we should do away with Kentucky, since its postal abbreviation is "KY" as in jelly, as in homosexual agenda, etc? /tin foil hat off

Driving down secondary highways as a child was a history lesson. Today's kids will have to get by on the sanitized version.

Does this mean they'll be closing Wops Park in Apex, NC?

I've never heard of any of the places mentioned in the article

Astonishingly, I found one of the places mentioned in the article on the postcard here. The postcard is from a website at toto.lib.unca.edu/findingaids/photo/lecompte/lec082.htm and it states that it was published by the Asheville Postcard Company.
