Unlike Betty Lou, I don't have any large cities to post about just yet. But that won't stop me. My exercise journey to Shamrock, Texas, has brought me to Lizard Lick, North Carolina. I've never actually been IN Lizard Lick, but I have driven past it many times on the highway en route to Raleigh, the state capital.
There's not much to say about Lizard Lick. Here's what I know. It is a small unincorporated community that has its own highway
program, a mobile university, and even a tiny TV station -- WLIZ. It keeps company with other "lick" named towns like Big Lick and Lickskillet. In 1998, Nintendo video game company called to say they wanted to use Lizard Lick as a back drop to unveil a new game called "Yoshi's Story". And I know that it has an unusual name.Many states have towns with funky names, but that is especially true of southern states. So I would like to share with you my Favorite Funky NC Town Names Top Honors Lists, in honor of my journey so far. Enjoy.
