City Names

The coolest city name, as determined by this week’s poll, is the city so nice, they named it twice: Walla Walla, Washington, the capital of Washington State’s wine country.

I have to agree with the poll-takers — of all of the city names I found, it’s the most fun to say. There’s so many cool names from Wisconsin, it was hard to narrow the choices down to one, but I settled on Oconomowoc there (Sheboygan and Wauwatosa didn’t make the cut) because I thought that there should only be one from a particular state for geographic fairness.

Congratulations, Walla Walla, Washington!
