I oughta count how many I have now. The total should be at least forty.
Anyway, here's the latest, all from New Jersey:
Coach House Restaurant, Bellmawr, NJ
Bellmawr is usually pronounced 'Belmar.' And guess what, there is a Belmar, NJ.
Something even more confusing. There's a Morristown, NJ. There's also a Moorestown, NJ, which most people pronounce 'Morristown.' And there's a Mauricetown, NJ, which the locals pronounce 'Morristown.'
That last one is not far from where I live, and I was sure it was pronounced 'Moreecetown, especially since the river it's on I've always heard pronounced as the Maurice (Moreece) River.'
Mauricetown is really worth a look. The main part of town dates to the early 1800s, and even today, looks basically untouched.

I've always had this repulsion for Disney. Even as a little kid, although I couldn't articulate it, I felt I was being pandered to by this greedy ugly phony company.

I looked this up and found seemingly dozens of mergers and sales.
