one town in maryland is called girdletree. just a tiny town you drive through and don't even realize it is a town. they say that a husband got tired of his wifes girdle she wore so tight she would feel faint. he didn't think she needed it to begin with so he took it and tied it around the tree in the yard. of course they lived on the main road so everyone started calling it girdletree. the ex in laws also lived in a area they called rabbitgnaw, don't know about that one.
