Have you seen any Interstate exit signs that make proper names?
Here in SC, just on I-26, we have Bowman Vance, as well as brother-sister act Clinton & Joanna Whitmire. Any of these in your locality? I was thinking it would be fun in a childish sort of way to do a story where all the characters' names came from Interstate signs.:D

1. Bermuda Mohawk
On 696 in Royal Oak/ Ferndale Michigan.

My favorite. Sounds like a character from a Tom Robbins novel
