Addresses

Today's post looks at some odd place names making a person wonder how they work as addresses. First up is community in Tennessee called, Nameless. There are two stories about how Nameless was named, one is that when they sent in the application for a post office they left the name space blank so the Post Office Department stamped it as Nameless. The other story is that the residents couldn't agree on a name and one fellow said, "this is a nameless place if I've ever seen one, so leave it be." And they did. The next is a place in Wales with a 58 character name meaning, "St. Mary's Church in the Hollow of the White Hazel Near to the Rapid Whirlpool of Llantysilio of the Red Cave" imagine trying to fit that on an envelope! Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
