"Cover" towns

My hometown of Nashua, NH is not famous, but we made a point to mail a post card at the "other" Nashua.


This is not quite what you're looking for...but I couldn't resist this detour in WA state...we found a little cafe, but no coffee.

There's a real nice country song about a girl who is "All the Rage in Paris"......without ever leaving Texas.

Not to hyjack, but also interesting would be a thread on towns with names never seen anywhere else, like Dime Box, Tx or Bucksnort, Ga.

Dunmovin, CA (actually a ghost town these days; they really ARE Dunmovin)

There used to be a place called Nothing, AZ along US-93, but I can't find it on Google maps, probably because it really was nothing, just one building along the highway.

Actually, it's pronounced mad-drid, as in the New Madrid fault. But still, it's not pronounced the same way as the one in Spain.

Pa

Mexico PA, California PA, Berlin PA, Germany PA

The Food In Mexico PA Taste a lot like PA German/Dutch food. It is not very spicy like I would expect

Kind of Erie...isn't it???????

Does Intercourse, Blueball, Birdinhand and Paradise PA count as covers for other things?

Finland, PA is a nice area to ride through.

Cover country

Missouri has two towns named after each of my daughters. When they've become acclimated to riding on the back of my /7, I'm going to take each of them on a ride to her own "cover" town.

Oh, and there's a small town adjacent to Norman, OK, that's a "cover" town of my last name.
