I knew that there was an Intercourse in Pennsylvania but I didn't know there was also one in Alabama
I live in the town next door to Ho Ho Kus - it's an Indian name.

Found the correct name:

Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump Interpretative Centre, Alberta. Near Fort Macleod, which is at the intersection of Highways 2 and 3 in southwestern Alberta. A historic site where the Indians stampeded buffalo over a cliff to kill them.

And apparently we also have a Gimli, Manitoba which predates the Lord of the Rings

Big Ugly (great way to attract tourists)

Near my grand-parents place in France there's a village called Vatan, which sounds like the french phrase for "Go Away".

Funny list!!! Some of the names were very... erm... imaginative :P

Actually I'd like to visit some of them and send a postcard from there. Must be fun receiving a postcard from Last Chance or Santa Claus (!!!)
