Guest Andrea Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Okay, on our way to my parents home in Alabama I saw a name on the map of a town called "Tuckabatchee". Seems Alabama is full of weird town names. Like Shorter, Polecat Springs, Eclectic, Socapatoy, SLAPOUT ( , sorry, we are slap out of bread) and Flea Hop.

Tominator Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Re: Weird names for towns One local here that comes to mind is Gahanna. My brother used to live near Novi, Michigan. The story there is the number six train used to stop there all the time, thus the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
