Traveling across the United States (and even other places) is eye-opening and fun. There are an abundance of quirky roadside attractions, great touristy places to spend money on trinkets and unusual stuff and then there are the places you actually go to.
Back in 2017 I wrote and published my first book — Less Beaten Paths of America: Unique Town Names. The book featured a number of unique, funny and quirky town names I had visited over the years. Since publishing that book, I have come across many more unique town names in my travels, such that I wanted to share them in posts.
The Blogging from A to Z Challenge provides a perfect format for doing this. I have participated in this challenge for five years running now and enjoy it every year. Last year, due to COVID (I did not get it) and other constraints I didn’t quite get through the entire list. I am determined to do so this year.
I promise there will be lots of fun with this one as you can join me virtually in traveling across the country (and I will even include a couple of others from overseas, just for fun). I will not elucidate much about the town names as I am saving that up for a Unique Town Names, Part II book in the future. Hopefully you will see the light!!
Get ready to Enjoy the Read and Enjoy the Ride!!

I think that all is okay, now that I’ve seen the Light, even if it is
in Arkansas, lol.
Wait until you see Delight! Also in Arkansas! 😀
It’s always fun to see the unusual places you’ve discovered. Good luck with the challenge again this year!
Thanks Anne!!
Oh, this is gonna be fun! 🙂
The Multicolored Diary
I always like reading about lesser-known places, they are less cliche and thus, much more interesting! I did consider doing the same for Hungary, where I live, but figured health is going to be more of a challenge so went with that 🙂 but I’ll be back to travel with you virtually!
Glad you can Enjoy the Read and Enjoy the Ride!!
