The allure of cities with numbers in their names
Image credit:
Yes, there's something transparently cool about Truth or Consequences, NM, or Hell, MI, but there's coolness AND precision in cities bearing numbers in their names:
- Twentynine Palms, CA
- Three Notch, AL
- Two Rivers, AK
- Seven Trees, CA
- Four Corners, MT
- Five Points, NC
- Seven Oaks, TX
- Ninety Six, SC
Last month my boyfriend and I loitered in Twentynine Palms. We tried to count the palms, but they were, somehow, scarce. Still a jolly old freezing desert time and I fully plan on going back there for my 29th birthday. (I'm sure I could make a local bartender groan over the originality of that one.) Anyone able to report from any of the above cities? And if I've left some out (which I know I have--every state seems to have a "Two Rivers"), would love to hear...
