They've "lost their identity" by officially recognizing the name in the town's own native language? Weird argument tbh.

Just walking a few blocks in Manhattan can mean changing zips. In fact, it can get quite contentious when the post office decides to bust up a "prestigious" zip code leaving certain snobs suddenly in the lurch with the rest of the hoi polloi.

I think ing was referring to the misspelling "zips codes" instead of "zip codes;" not the fact that it has 5 of them.

(Of course I could also be wrong and shouldn't put words in their mouth.)

I spent a good minute thinking to myself what's that hamlet with the really weird name that they take Phil to. I finally came up with Gobbler's Knob. Then I realized that you are looking for the better known place. You might want to accept Gobbler's Knob as an alternate answer.

But that's not the name of the city, or even a city. It's a hill just outside of the town. Accepting that would be like accepting Little Round Top for Gettyburg.

My first thought was Dixville Notch, then I remembered that's the New Hampshire village that is first in the nation to cast presidential votes. I finally remembered the correct answer but had lots of trouble spelling it.

I wouldn't have gotten it except we drove through there once. It seemed like a really nice place - then again, we weren't there at night when all the "fun" supposedly happens.

I feel kinda bad for people in towns like that, that become famous for being boring and then get a ton of tourists, like Forks or Scranton.

Forks wasn't difficult, but is it really a city? Not sure it technically qualifies, by state standards.

I thought the answer to the Wyoming question was going to be Schitt, or something like that.

I think you'll find the Battle of Schrute Farms was deadlier.
