If I were filming a B movie about the Zombie apocalypse I would have it start here, this is a local park down the way from where I currently live.
You have to admit this one has a pretty imaginative name. Makes you wonder about the history too. Maybe there is a Deep Ones hangout on the premises. |

There is no way the audience would believe that was a real place. I love it. |

Yep. In college, I knew a girl from Toad Suck, Arkansas. |

Also, my original home state of Alabama has some doozies: link I like Lick Skillet (alas, since renamed), Slicklizzard, and Frog Eye— the latter two just beg to be Lovecraftian settings… And there's also a favorite— Plum Nelly Farm in Georgia, near the border with Tennessee around Chattanooga. So named because it's "plum outta Tennessee and nelly outta Georgia." (For those not from ‘round these parts, plum=plumb and nelly=nearly). |

The winner has to be: Hell, Michigan You have to love the Wikipedia description: "Hell has no defined boundaries or population statistics of its own." |

I occasionally drive down Skunks Misery Road the joy of sad place names link |

Extrabio, But I assume it does freeze over in the winter. |

Yup Hell Michigan does freeze over. Been there, they sell Styrofoam "snowballs" from Hell. |

My old home state of Pennsylvania has Intercourse, Blue Ball, and Bird in Hand. Some they all seem related… |

Certain frogs and toads in the USA have a psychoactive chemical in their skin. Thus , if you have time on your hands and not much to do for entertainment…. |

Headline from a rural Minnesota newspaper some years ago was about a "Manly" man and woman killed in a automobile accident near "Climax". Towns in Minnesota. |

Dry Prong?!?! Don't they have an ointment for that?? |
Bashytubits | 14 Jan 2021 6:36 p.m. PST |
Of course, Toad Suck ointment, it's the bomb.
Group hug! |

Where I live there is an intersection of two streets, Dix and Champaign, and once I met a girl when I was out of state who when she learned where I lived proudly proclaimed "I used to live on Dix and Champaign!". Yeah, she didn't get it. Went right over her head. I just smiled. |

Driving through Delaware I used to chuckle at Big Assawoman Bay which wasn't far from Slaughter Beach, which probably has Deep Ones of its own. |
von Schwartz ver 2 | 16 Jan 2021 6:32 p.m. PST |
Wait a minute, a reference to Big Assawoman and Deep Ones in the same paragraph….Such an opportunity there. But they would put me in the Dawghouse for life. |
