Cool sounding place names

[iamtheblues]

Paul Simon, who's name immediately sprang to mind when you mentioned Scarborough Fair,
also gave a name-check to The New Jersey Turnpike on "America" from
the "Bookends" album. Even road names in the States are cool compared to their English
counterparts. Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited, and Nat King Cole's "Route 66" -
"Well it winds from Chicago to LA, more than 2,000 miles all the way"
which then lists the places through which it winds:
Well it goes from St Louis, down to Missouri
Oklahoma city looks oh so pretty
You'll see Amarillo and Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona don't forget Winona
Kingsman, Barstow, San Bernadino.

In the UK there's the A 46, which runs from Cleethorpes to Bath
more than 245 miles all the way passing through:
Lincoln, Coventry, Kenilworth, Warwick, Stratford Upon Avon, Alcester, Evesham,
Cheltenham, Painswick, Stroud and Chipping Sodbury.
Not a romantic name in the list. You can safely bet that Chipping Sodbury
isn't going to become immortalised in song!
I think Mike Harding tried to do a pastiche on Route 66, but my memory
is a bit sketchy on this.
Saludos,
Bob.
