"Dung Hill Road" is nearby in Maryland.

When driving the back roads to visit my old home town I enjoy passing through "Prosperity, PA". When the kids were small we joked, "We're on the road to Prosperity!"

Texas is full of place names to make you smile - Dime Box, Sand and Muleshoe are the first to come to mind. And plenty of international travel too - Italy, Paris, Rome, Palestine, among others. Then there is West (which has been in the news so much lately), North Zulch, and Tehuacana, Waxahachie, Mexia (Muh hay uh) and others that have unique pronunciation.
