I coined a new term today: geoxymoron–a contradiction of places. It's my idiom for cities and town with names that are contradictions in term.
When my car broke down, I spent a romantic night at a truck stop in Paris, IL…does that count?
Friended you, ya big LJ snob ;).
Those are great. I add Paris, TX to the list of American Parises. I've never been to Maine. Would it and Norway have similar weather? Not that I've been to Norway, either.
Paris Texas comes to mind.
