[QUOTE="Crazy Jerome, post: 5632714, member: 54877"] I went looking for "Strawberry on the Plains" and found that the old name, which was changed before the internet got big, has been purged! [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strawberry_Plains,_Tennessee"]Strawberry Plains, Tennessee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/URL]. The full name of the town was something like, "The Most Excellent Strawberry on the Plains." The TN dept. of transportation complained about it for years. They finally changed, if I remember those newpaper reports correctly, in the late 80's, early 90s, to the curent form. I always thought that it made a good possibility for a gnomish community besieged by a larger government. "Dang gnomes, the names of their towns won't fit on the page right! Do they know how much scribes charge to send a decree there!" :lol: [/QUOTE]
