    There are roads named like that, all over, especially in California. If in doubt, check the address on Google Earth. I use it ALL the time to look at addresses.

    And all poor people are in "Menomonee, Wis." ( Me no money) Hell, Michigan, same thing? You know, they changed the planet Uranus' name due to years of ridicule. It's now called Urectum,,

    I spent a week last year working in Boring, Oregon. It wasn't.
    From there we moved to Drain, Oregon. It did.
