Our neighboring state has perhaps the highest percentage of
weird city names in the whole country, so we suggest a modest road
trip including plenty of group photographs posed in front of city
markers. E-mail them to your friends and prove the following places
actually exist:
Why, Nothing, Happy Valley, Inspiration, Monkey’s Eyebrow,
Gunsight, Surprise, Strawberry, Carefree, Eager, and Show Low are
all towns in Arizona. Oh, and don’t forget Bumble Bee, Happy
Jack, Arsenic Tubs, Two Guns, Friendly Corner, Hermits Rest,
Chloride, Dry Beaver Creek, and Wet Beaver Creek. Log on to
Mapquest.com, plan your trip, and find out just how bored
Arizonians have to be to come up with city names like these.
