sealman (12/02/2015) [-] America has a weird tendency to name small, obscure places the names of more important, well known places, especially from the Old World. Where I live there happens to be a district known as Greece and a few miles east there's a Syracuse.

anon (12/03/2015) [-]
That's not at all uncommon, they're named after the European places because that's where the settlers were originally from. York, Amsterdam, Moscow, Berlin, etc. . . I'll assume you're from America, because that's the only way I could think you would get the idea that we're the only ones who do it, you just don't hear about them when they're from other places because, as you said, they're not important.

It's literally just a series of shopping malls.

thesovereigngrave (12/02/2015) [-] Well that's what happens when you name a city after a river, and then there's a territory named after the river which becomes a state.

CaptainKill (12/03/2015) [-] Upstate New York has lots of those.
Sparta, Greece, Amsterdam, Bombay, Boston, and Alabama are all names of NY towns and that's just to name a few.

isaapostasied (12/03/2015) [-] Yeah, Michigan alone stole the names of Sparta, Nunica, Troy, Paris, and even Hell, which would have been much more appropriate for the city of Flint.

lordlolland (12/02/2015) [-] Don't like American hamlets with deceiving names? Come to Lolland instead!
Unlike name, Lolland is no fun
Foreclosure of homes is regional passtime, economic depression is regional bird.
Come see highest suicide rate in country, almost double that of national rate!
Not paid for by tourist bureau of Lolland. Tourist bureau has neither money nor tourists.

datassman (12/02/2015) [-] Wouldn't recommend, if that's what you're asking. Basically, it's a little bit north of Bear Lake, which is a popular vacation place not tourists, mind you, just people that live nearby so it's not really that big, but it certainly isn't nothing like in the comic.The most prominent building there is a Mormon tabernacle, because it's kinda within the Salt Lake City sphere of influence, meaning you can expect a population that's significantly LDS, and nothing is open on Sundays. Pretty ugly town overall, the landscape is really uneven, the houses are a little rundown, and the roads are **** .
If you're visiting Bear Lake for some strange ass reason, there's no reason to even pass through unless you're coming from the north, in which case you'll have no choice but to pass through.
