Example; unfortunately named landmarks such as peepee creek, Bill’s Hentai Cavern, exct.
Tracy, California.
All I know about it is when my friends car broke down there for two days. Sounded awful.
So yeah, a terrible place for a road trip destination.
Similarly, I’d also say Monroe, Louisiana. To quote an old B-movie from the 50’s “There’s nothing off of I-20!”
There’s no unfortunately named landmarks, just unfortunate people in unfortunate towns.
it sounds so innocuous. What’s wrong with it?
Very accurate. But don’t worry, there are worse places along the way!
There’s a state park in Kentucky called “Big Bone Lick”
I once drove through Ohio, don’t remember my exact route, but came up north from Kentucky to Cincinnati, then east into Pennsylvania
There may be more boring drives out there, but I haven’t made them.
Cincinnati seemed like a nice enough city though. Can’t think of any particular reason I’d ever want to go back, but I didn’t hate it, so that was pretty much the high point of my time in Ohio
Denver to St Louis through KS and MI is up there
Doesn’t help that getting from West to East on i70 through Kansas City is a nightmare after driving that long.
Spoiler: i70 doesn’t just run through the city like one would think.
Any drive through Nebraska blows.
Cincinnati seemed like a nice enough city though. Can’t think of any particular reason I’d ever want to go back
Clearly you’ve never had goetta.
I haven’t, but I live in PA, so we have scrapple which sounds pretty similar.
Yeah, very similar but with steel-cut oats instead of cornmeal/flour. I’ve not had scrapple but I understand they’re very similar, both born out of German immigrants trying to stretch meat servings and save money.
Gary, indiana
His name is Bingo Gas Station Motel Cheeseburger With A Side of Aircraft Noise And You’ll Be Gary, Indiana.
There’s a UK road trip that goes from Twatt to Shitterton through Cock Bridge, Dick Place, Cock Alley, Bitchfield, Whores Wood and Ass Hill.
But why is it terrible tho?
Ah I read it as terribly named places for some reason
I think that’s what OP did mean given the examples.
You’re fine, OP’s question isn’t terribly clear
We should… we should kill OP, correct?
Texas is a pretty terrible place. And it’s huge. Have fun.
There’s a place not far from me called Shitterton. It’s actually quite nice despite the name.
I can keep you busy for a while in Canada…

Excuse me, op specifically asked for terrible places
Yeah, I went by the examples in the text, not the title :)
Where exactly is Bill’s Hentai Cavern? Asking for a friend
It was a made up example that I can only hope stays made up.
Honolulu
Challenger Deep.
Middelfart in Denmark.
That said, we also have Lolland
Is exct a thing or just a typo?

I’m paying a shit ton to have a basement. Why the hell would I leave it?
Toad Suck, Arkansas. Got a cool pic at the lock and dam, missed the park and the town itself.
Transylvania, Louisiana. Got a pic of the bat painted on the water tower, but the general store/Post Office was closed, so no souvenirs.
I wouldn’t force Louisiana on my worst enemy. The coast is probably fine, but in deep Louisiana, I saw more trash heaps, cars on blocks, and churches than actual businesses or non-dilapidated homes
The coast is just as bad. I’ve done the east arkansas to new Orleans drive. Never again.
