[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by andrechapelon</i> <br />...About 5 miles from the Wiscasset, Waterville & Farmington museum in Alna, ME, there's a farm with a rather unique name. Unfortunately, I can't give the full name lest I arouse the landlords to a mighty wrath. However, I can give you the first and last words. Cow ____ Corner. I kid you not. <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />There was a guy in Milwaukee 20-30 years, maybe less, who lived just off the runway approach to Mitchel Int'l Airport. He had a sign on his roof (painted on the shingles, done in different colored shingles, or whatever) that said "Welcome to Cleveland". The city tried (unsuccessfully) to make him remove it. I have no idea if it's still there. <br /> <br />There's a local tavern called "Night Court". Another is "The Doctor's Office". I've also seen "Dew Drop Inn", and "Duck Inn" (next to the CP/Amtrak Hiawatha line in Wadsworth, IL; there's a huge marsh/wetlands just across the tracks. In downtown Milwaukee is a little beanery called "My Office" (good burgers). And then there was "Nacho Mama's" a few blocks away.
