The USA is full of unusual and interesting town names.
Body parts are popular sources of inspiration, for example: Arm, which must be smaller than Big Arm. No telling if the arm Bone is connected, which leads to a Bone Gap. If you want to get to the Marrowbone, you're going to need to Gnaw Bone.
You have to wonder if someone in Assawoman is saying "Does this dress make my town look big?" If so, perhaps it's time for a visit to the plastic surgeon to get an Assinippi.
If your donkey can sing opera, does it do an Assaria? Hopefully it doesn't sing off key, that would be embarassing, except in Jackass Flats where people are used to it.
In the "it doesn't mean what it used to back then" department, we have of course, Intercourse, Pennsylvania, which was named for the intersection of several roads.
You can take a tour of most of the solar system without leaving the country: Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Urania, and Neptune. Sadly, no Pluto, but maybe you can find him in Disney. If you look up in Starview, I wonder if you can see the Moon?
