not necessarily a city, but a funny business name in Colorado.

Oh, you mean Hershey...as in the candy bar or the chocolate.  Now I get it.  See, you spelled the name of the city wrong so I didn't understand what you meant because I assumed we were on the funny name thread and I assumed that part of the funny would include the funny name itself and that the critical part of that funny would be to spell it accurately, thus preserving the funny nature of the name. I was wrong.

These are all towns.

Iron Knob
Bobbin Head
Blowhard
Cockburn
Black Charlie's Opening

You may be right, sir!

I can only imagine the logo on the cheerleader's outfits at the local high school, much less how the announcer handles it during when they broadcast the games on the local radio station.

Must sound like Joe Pecci with an Aussie accent.  I'd love to have an aircheck of THAT!
