Re: Are you okay with the name of your town?

Sure am! It's an average everyday name.  Not something like Retch or Vomit, Crooktown or Swindler.

I like the name of my Town..... especially since it is so unique there is no other place in the US that shares the same name.   I've googled it numerous times.  No, I will not reveal what it is.  Woman LOL


Is it Waunakee, WI?

Grew up in Flushing, Queens, NYC. Rival school chant at high school games was "Flush, flush, Flushing!"

It was a Jeopardy  answer on Tuesday! Got it wrong...guessed Hudson (name River and bay)

 

Now, I live in town of Weston with a cute street name.
