'Lovely' Place Names near you?

16 years ago

Are there any towns near you (or in your province/state) that have "Love" or "Heart" in the name? Or something else associated with love? With Valentine's Day coming up, let's make a list.

Here in Newfoundland we have:

Heart's Delight

Heart's Content

Tickle Cove

Cupids

Happy Adventure

And here's a cute Newfoundland tourism video (ad) about some of those names.

Romance, Arkansas immediately comes to mind. I know there are others, but I'll need to look them up.

Ingrid- She does have a potted up band of Lavender Pinnochio that was going to replace an Angel Face that's coming out after 5 or so years. I'll swing that idea by her. The next permanent fixture in that area has a cream colored flower, but there's easily space for a nice sized shrub between the expected space for Dragon's Blood and the cream rose. Sydonie is going to go next to a Mlle. Cecile Brunner shrub in a pink themed semi-circular bed in the back. There's actually a fair amount of Limonium in the pink bed now that I think about it. Some of it could definitely stand to be moved. It's hard to picture a great scheme. Apricots and Purples round out her favorite rose colors -besides russet- do you all think Munstead Wood could pair well? Or even Lady Emma Hamilton? I hear pretty consistently good things about these roses and my mom loves Austins. Even if it's more of an orange, would LEH not clash? The shrub always looks great in picture, but I've only seen one in person that was rather young and not in bloom. Two others she would love a reason to try are Queen of Sweden and Carding Mill. Not sure that QoS would work, but maybe Carding Mill. Thanks for ideas! I need to look into your recommendations Campanula. I try to avoid getting into a monoculture of roses. Jay

Do you have a Kirkland store near you?

Kirklands is definately a place to buy home decorations and you should see lots of mirrors, candles, framed pictures, tabletop knick-knacks and such. I have never found a lot to my personal liking. My style leans to primitive/rustic. Kirklands I find to be more bold colors, (reds, brown golds) and oversized. Lots of tassles, bigs frames, throw pillows....faux antiqueing. Have fun shopping!

I bought two armless slipper type chairs from WM and they are fine quality for the price. I needed the seating when I was hosting a large party and thought I could use them in a bedroom afterwards, but I like them so well and they look so good that I made room for them in my living room. They really are only used when I have guests and I'm very careful to keep my grandson from having food or milk or sticky fingers near them because I doubt they will hold up too well against those things. They are covered in a microfiber and I'm just unsure if it would spot clean too well. They were on sale and I got an extra 30% off because they were floor samples. I bought some beautiful coordinating pillows for them, too. I also love the international food selection and the inexpensive wine selection is good, too. The have great greeting cards and wrapping items. I've bought a few little toys, too, some I've not seen anywhere else. I'm not sure if I'd drive hours to visit one, but it's a good all around import store in our area.

Wok on Fire, do you have one near you?
Q

We have Mongolian Grill- same premise. We were really grossed out, though. The cooks were standing over the large wok or frying surface and sweating right into the food! You could see them wipe the sweat from the heat off their foreheads but most of the drops went right into the food! Also, the raw food sitting on the buffet table for you to choose from looked bad. I don't believe the temperature was safe for the foods. No more, thank you!

Loveless
Loving
Loving County has the least population in the entire state of Texas!

Intercourse, PA comes to mind! LOL However the name is probably derived from an older usage of the term which refers to a social community.

But of Course!

Valentines, has a post office. You can send your cards there and they will be stamped. See link.

Love, a small community on the Blue Ridge Parkway, just a few miles from me. Used to have a Post Office there where you could get your mail stamped with LOVE.

Can you think of a four-letter word, ending in K, that's a synonym for intercourse?
