hey everyone i got bored at work today and compiled a list of very silly and yet very real missouri place names because BOY do we ever have some. these are mostly ones i can make rude jokes about but i think there's a little something in here for everyone

#you might be tempted to go “wendy there's no way x is real or all of these are real. you snuck some fake ones in there”#to which i say “fucking BET?”#i was neck-deep in wikipedia/maps/wayback machined historical society websites #not all of them are extant but they are all real #missouri #sure is a state i live in #anyway i'm going to roundly ignore the election results until tomorrow when they're all in bc Several Fears #i learned some fun localish etymology from this. soooo many knobs
