    There’s a village not far from me called Shitterton. It’s actually quite nice despite the name.

    Tracy, California.

    All I know about it is when my friends car broke down there for two days. Sounded awful.

    So yeah, a terrible place for a road trip destination.

    Similarly, I’d also say Monroe, Louisiana. To quote an old B-movie from the 50’s “There’s nothing off of I-20!”

    There’s no unfortunately named landmarks, just unfortunate people in unfortunate towns.

    I once drove through Ohio, don’t remember my exact route, but came up north from Kentucky to Cincinnati, then east into Pennsylvania

    There may be more boring drives out there, but I haven’t made them.

    Cincinnati seemed like a nice enough city though. Can’t think of any particular reason I’d ever want to go back, but I didn’t hate it, so that was pretty much the high point of my time in Ohio

      Denver to St Louis through KS and MI is up there

      Doesn’t help that getting from West to East on i70 through Kansas City is a nightmare after driving that long.

      Spoiler: i70 doesn’t just run through the city like one would think.

      Clearly you’ve never had goetta.

          Yeah, very similar but with steel-cut oats instead of cornmeal/flour. I’ve not had scrapple but I understand they’re very similar, both born out of German immigrants trying to stretch meat servings and save money.

    Toad Suck, Arkansas. Got a cool pic at the lock and dam, missed the park and the town itself.

    Transylvania, Louisiana. Got a pic of the bat painted on the water tower, but the general store/Post Office was closed, so no souvenirs.

      I wouldn’t force Louisiana on my worst enemy. The coast is probably fine, but in deep Louisiana, I saw more trash heaps, cars on blocks, and churches than actual businesses or non-dilapidated homes
