An Eiffel Tower sporting a cowboy hat on top. Two places named Berlin, neither of them in Germany. A town called Nashville, where dinosaur footprints rather than music are the big draw.
Towns throughout the United States may share the same name but little else. There are only so many ways to label a community, so it’s no surprise that there are repeats. For example, there are more than 20 U.S. towns called Berlin and Middletown and about two dozen known as Paris.
These destinations span the country, so some probably are within a convenient drive of where you live. They can provide a welcome day trip during this time of limited travel.
