Here's an amusing list of
weird city and town names. Of course, I immediately wondered if all these names were real, so I checked a random sample in Mapquest. Nothing came up for Hornytown, North Carolina (a google search didn't turn up any offical website for it either, though there is a
widespread report, probably false, that Hornytown has banned massage parlors). Nor was there a Love Ladies, New Jersey in Mapquest. That doesn't mean Hornytown and Love Ladies don't exist. It's just that I can't find them. However, according to Mapquest it would be possible to take a road trip from
Intercourse, Pennsylvania to
Hooker, Arkansas, with a quick stop in
Hot Coffee, Mississippi, and finishing up in
Climax, North Carolina.
Update: Apparently there is a 'Love Ladies' in New Jersey, but it's spelled all as one word: Loveladies, NJ. However, I've still found no evidence that there's a Hornytown in North Carolina, although there is a
Hornyhead Mountain.
Update 2: By randomly typing words into Mapquest it turns out to be quite easy to come up with weird place names. In just a few minutes I came up with these:
Shite Creek, Idaho;
Trash Branch, Alabama;
Weird Lake, Minnesota; and
Dork Canal, Oregon.

Horney Town had a website last year but now it's gone. I found this though:

I bet you can still get t-shirts there.
I just wanted to let you know that there is in fact a place named Horneytown, NC. I live about two miles from there. It may not be on mapquest, but it is still there. The town and the fire department were annexed into the City of High Point a couple of years ago, but the Horneytown Fire Department is still there, just across from an old gas station and Tuckers Grill. It is located at the intersection of Old 311 (High Point Rd.) and Hwy 66. Just thought you would like to hear from a native of the area that it does exist.
There is no... nor has there ever been a Hornytown NC.
While NC does have some great ones... LizardLick and so forth... Hornytown is a fake.
Pretty cool name but not much to see but the desert.
