SHUSH YOU! I'm seeing if we will have a "Flexor of Yuggoth" on our hands if we encourage him to explore aforementioned mounds.

I live in Cambridge, MA. While not "fantasy sounding" in English, Cambridge is translated into Chinese as "Sword Bridge" which sounds cool. (It's 'cuz the "Cam" part of Cambridge got transliterated into Cantonese as "Gim" which means sword, and "bridge" got translated directly).

Aventura (the city where going to the supermarket earns you XP!)
Coral Gables
Sweetwater
Boca Raton (I seriously wonder who was the person that named the city Rat Mouth)

Here in Connecticut

We have Devil's Hopyard State Park (I'm not kidding)

We also have Sleeping Giant State Park (a small hilly area with one smallish hill as the head, a long thick hill as the body and a third small hill as the feet)

There is also Gay City State Park, but I'm guessing that would not work for many.

I live near two streets - one is "Middle Butcher" and the other is "Lower Butcher"

My alma mater, the University of Connecticut has a pond/lake that is called Mirror Lake.

Other parks include: Bluff Point... Bigelow Hollow...Rocky Neck... Salmon River... Silver Sands

Towns: Beacon Falls...Deep River...

Of course, Foxwoods (the casino)

Edited to add - and right over the border is Sleepy Hollow, NY.

There is also Gay City State Park, but I'm guessing that would not work for many.
