Nothing to do with a number, but I missed the post on interesting place names.

Hell For Certain, KY

It’s a small community, but there is a road sign to mark the spot…that is when someone hasn’t stolen it.

Twentynine Palms is a small and quaint place. Kinda cool– and kind of a dump. As for the 29 Palm trees… Originally there was a place in the mountains that had 29 palm trees and free standing water year round. Now it is called 49 Plams Canyon. About a 30 minute hike into the mountains b/w 29 Palms and Joshua Tree. At a time 29 palm trees were planted at the High School (might be the same).
