Places that sound cool

[willywonka666]

I was reading about Stevie Nicks writing the song "Silver Springs" after she saw it on a road sign and thought it sounded like a cool place.

I have always liked the sound of anything with the word "Valley" in it. Silicon Valley, San Fernando Valley, places like that. It makes me think of a cool community where it's sunny and just great weather that's kinda laid back

Nova Scotia also seemed like an interesting name to me, though I don't know what I'd be expecting once I got there.


You? what have you imagined about these places based on their names?

I was a little kid and was excited to go to Brainard, MN on a fishing trip. I thought we were going to a resort that would be full of people like Einstein.

Some of them may have been married to their first cousins, does that count?

I often drove past an exit for a place called Luna Pier.

I have no idea what it is like. It is near the Ohio/Michigan border, and probably isn't nearly as pretty as it sounds.

There's a place in England called The Land of Nod which I always imagined to be a cool, whimsical fairytale type village.

Wrestling has some great ones. All I know about that place is that they have RVD, Sabu, and cereal factories. Also, Sojourner Truth died there.

Truth or Consequences, New Mexico

There's a Stoners Creek near me...not that exciting, there's just a Speedzone.

I've always thought a lot of places in California sound cool. (As well as the word California too)

Thousand Oaks. Echo Park. Larchmont Village. I don't know if they're total dumps but they sound really pretty and relaxing.

There's a horse racing track in the UK at a place called Plumpton.

I imagine thatched cottages, tea rooms and people all on bicycles.

[Push R Truth]

Intercourse PA sounds like it should be the greatest college town in the history of our sport.

In case anyone was wondering how to pronounce it




From Wikipedia

The long name was contrived in the 1860s to bestow upon the station the feature of having the longest name of any railway station in Britain, an early example of a publicity stunt. The village's website credits the name to a cobbler from the nearby village of Menai Bridge. According to Sir John Morris-Jones the name was created by a local tailor, whose name he did not confide, letting the secret die with him.[4][5] The current postmark shows the name Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, but there are contemporary examples of the longer name seen below.
St Mary's Church

The village was originally known as Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll ("St Mary's in Hollow of the White Hazel Township"). Pwllgwyngyll was the original medieval township where the village is today.[6] Old variants (with the Welsh spelling normalised) were Llanfair y Pwllgwyngyll (y = "(of) the") and Llanfair Ymhwll Gwyngyll (mh is a sandhi change (nasal mutation) from 'n p', and "yn" = 'in').

The village is split into two smaller villages, Llanfairpwllgwyngyll-uchaf (Upper Llanfairpwllgwyngyll), the original part of the village, and Llanfairpwllgwyngyll-isaf (Lower Llanfairpwllgwyngyll), the newer area nearer the railway station. These are occasionally referred to as Pentre Uchaf and Pentre Isaf (Upper Village and Lower Village).
