 CS>> Odessa Texas is a pretty nice place too.

 OZ> Original Odessa is in Ukraine, Odessa Texas is an unauthorised copy
 OZ> :-) 

BS> Who is supposed to authorize a city name? :)

Hehe well the USA is famous for grabbing ones from all over and using them
¨here.  Even New York is a reuse of England's 'York'.

Funny is our use of 'Greenville'.  Seems most of the time a traveller from
east ¨to west hit a 'dry spell' and as they came to a river, called the
city ¨'Greenville' so now we have 27 of them in the USA.

Texas has a city called 'Paris' too!

My favorites though relate to my home area.  I come from Clemson SC, so
named ¨after a fellow who's last name was Clemson, lost a wheel off his
wagon onthe ¨way to the Smokey Mountain pass.  He was too lazy to go on
further so made his ¨farm there.  Clemson now is famous for a college with
a decent football ¨(American football) team, a good rugby team, and on
occasion, a good basketball ¨team.  They are also a premiere graduate
program for physics.

Anyways, Clemson has 2000 locals and 30,000 students and faculty.  The
place ¨dries up and goes away in summer vacation.

Up the road six miles from the big city of 2000 locals, is 'Six Mile' so
named ¨as it's six miles away.  It has 600 residents.

To tell ya how small the area was, there is another town.  Ninty-Six.  It's
96 ¨miles from Clemson....  Population is about 275 .
