What are some odd places you find interesting?

Asked by rockstargrrrlie (887points) September 28th, 2009

As someone who enjoys both taking road trip and geography, I’m frequently fascinated by places I pass while driving. In some cases, I write down the place name so that I can look it up upon arriving at my destination. I’m always interested in learning why people would live in certain places (Tucumcari, NM comes to mind) or why certain locales have been abandoned.

On my way to Las Vegas last week, I came across Zzyzx Road in California. While I was already aware of its existence, and even knew the story behind it, seeing it firsthand has heightened my interest.

What are some places that have been fascinating to you? Why?
