In Austria there is a village named F*cking
In Michigan, where I am from, exit 69 off of the freeway takes you to Big Beaver Road
and speaking of Big Beaver Road, it changes it's name a few times, but at its junction with Van *kitten* road use to be a shopping center named Dykeland - the shopping center still exists but they changed the name
Belgium (where I live now) has tons of funny town names, Asse, Kontich (Kont in Dutch means butt, but I read this in English and Kont ich- is definitely rude), and several others0 -
Nowhere, Oklahoma << for real.0

I'm glad someone's already addressed Cumming, IA. I have driven past it several times, but never actually stopped. It's a damn shame, I know. Do they have a Kum & Go there?
When I was in college we went through Licking, MO on the way to my mom's house in Arkansas. My mom was driving, and I couldn't convince her to stop - and I didn't have enough time to get my camera and take a picture of the Adopt a Highway sign: "sponsored by Licking United Methodist Men"0 -

I drove up Big Beaver road when I was staying in Detroit0 -
Many years ago, I worked with a small commercial real estate company and I was working with two nice women that wanted to open a garment business, so I was helping them located and lease a building in a warehouse factory district. Once all was done and finalized, they named the company....Two Girls & A Hoe!!
It cracks me up thinking about much I laughed when they first told me the name of the company! Hmm....I wonder if they're still in business! :laugh:0 -

So you really could live in the middle of nowhere. That is awesome.0 -
Where I live, not really the name of the business...more like placement issues.. there was a ****'s sporting goods next to a Giant grocery store. The Plaza signs had "GIANT ****'S"..... they eventually realized this though and flipped the signs!0

There's Intercourse, PA. It's right down the road from Blue Ball. I kid you not.
And the just plain strange King of Prussia, PA..0 -
My hubby works in Cumming, GA.
I had a teacher in high school with the last name Bates. Instead of calling him Mr.Bates, we called him Master Bates. Either he didn't catch it or he was really good at keeping a straight face.0 -
This wasn't a company or place, but when I was living in Hamilton, there was a sign that said "GIANT ERECTION" Apparently it's an annual tent event, but the tent part was in the fine print.0

When I was a kid, there used to be a Chinese takeaway near us called 'Foo King Chinese and Son'
There's also a Turkish restaurant near my work called 'Likya'

Here are my faves:
In Arizona, just south of Tucson along the highway to Tombstone, is (was?) a store called "Vitamins Furniture Gospel."
I passed it in 1997, and had to stop the car to take a picture. I think it was a secondhand store.
Anyone know if it's still there?
Also: In upper Manhattan, NYC, two streets intersect: Cumming and Seaman. (Logical, logical ... )0
