Where do they come up with these names?

Pigeon Forge

Summer Duck

Hell

Joe

Accident

These are all real town names – where the heck do they come up with them?

Here’s a great blog post on it:

Why is it on my mind?

My parents are leaving their cozy little camper once again this weekend for some cialis no prescription travel time.  So once again, good old dad broke out the trusty laptop to make some travel reservations, this time for Pigeon Forge Tennessee, but instead of screwing it up this time, he actually got buying medicine online it right!  When he searched for ‘Pigeon Forge Tennessee hotels’ he got what he was looking for.  They plan to revisit Dollywood…. *gag*
