I guess there are a lot of interesting place names in the States (as anywhere) as well as a lot of semi-mundane ones, like Little Flock, Arkansas (about 200 miles from Little Rock).

Slightly reminiscent of American Gothic, but I like her colorful apron! Oh, I like the name Pie Town too! MMMmmm. Blueberry, apple, – now I’m hungry.
