Agreed. Inspired by your comment, I did a Google map search, and there appear to be no places currently sporting that name, though there was a bagel shop in Troy NY with it, closed down in 2019. So, you know, there is a vacuum waiting to be filled. Could be filled by a head shop, could be by anything…

And it was a fantastic bagel shop, at that! The community was very sad when it closed doors. You'd think there'd be many more with a great name like that.

It's funny to me that there are two cities in New York named Troy and Ithaca.

  I have always enjoyed all the little towns named identically to other places. Maine, New York; London, Ontario; Mexico, Maine. There are a lot of others. "Where are you from?" "We came from London." "Oh, all the way from the UK? You don't seem to have an accent at all!" "No, it's about 30 miles from here."

    In Germany, we have cities with identical names, too (Frankfurt, Halle, most likely others I am unaware of). But being a much smaller country, it doesn't lead to much confusion.

    Not all fun and games. My buddy lost his luggage for three weeks because the airline routed it to the "real" city.

  Ha. Yeah, there's PA weirdness, too. Once dated a girl from Mars. And of course you can't forget about Intercourse.
