My husband and I have a theory that there should be wormholes between places with the same name, so you only have to drive to the one nearest and then travel almost instantaneously to the distant one. We think this every time we set off on the 10-hour drive to my parents, and pass a town of

When my parents would drive to visit my Grandparents we would pass New Mexico, Texas and Warsaw, NY - all within a few minutes of each other. Near Rochester there is a Lima also, however if you pronounce it like the bean they will either hit you or throw zuchinni at you (depending upon the

Well, duh. I've been through Cambridge many, many times and there's a yearly SCA event in Oxford that I regularly attend. My husband tells that there is a Rome here too. :-) Hmm...I just checked and there are not one, but THREE Romes in Ohio! Looks like all three are wide spots in the road,
