While sitting in a very dull conference call, I noted some very odd names for cities and towns on the Kentucky map in the conference room. I couldn't help jotting some of them down to share.

You forgot Versailles on the ones you thought were elsewhere. Of course you'll get corrected if you say Ver-sigh instead of Ver-sells, but that's half the charm. Right?

We have some creative state park names as well. Like Big Bone Lick State Park.
