In Pennsylvania you have to go through Intercourse to get to Paradise. This is Amish country.

My neighboring city is Gun Barrel City. Go across the bridge and you will find Seven Points. Turn left in Seven Points and you will find the city of Tool. If you turn right in Seven Points, you will find Cap City. We also have a town called Log Cabin.
Plus, when we lived in New Mexico, I heard about a town literally called T&C, short for Truth & Consequences, after a 50's game show. Out in West Texas, there is a small town called Eula.

Truth and Consequences, NM is very likely the third best known town in the state after Santa Fe and Albuquerque.
