Coinjock, NC.
Coinjock sounds like something you might get hanging out NEAR an islandy town by a place called Waterlily. It turns out it IS an island town by a place called Waterlily. Mercifully, the origins of the town name do not … Continue reading

Weed, Ca.
If there were ever a town to be named after “weed” the logic would reasonably dictate that it would have to be in California. It turned out to be true as far as that goes. Continue reading

Peculiar, Mo.
It’s odd. There are parts of this story that Somebodyisfromhere.com could swear that he’s already written. It’s fitting then that parts of this town’s origin might also have to do with this sense of Deja Vu. Maybe that’s just Peculiar.

Normal, Il.
At first glance, it seems like a “Normal.” With roads and trains out the wazoo, Normal is accessible to everybody right in the middle of the state. Meanwhile, its roughly 50,000 residents are sustained by ridiculously American industries like a Universities and car manufacturing.
