I guess this isnt that weird of a name for a city/town/county/area/cdp/hole in the ground but I always imagine how they named it.

The first settlers: Here is some land!
later on: Over there is more land
random guy points to the west: And over there is even more land!

Yeah, Westmoreland County in PA. I live next to it, and i have no reason to ever go there. Today I went on an aimless 2 hour drive, and I entered into Westmoreland via the Donald R. Lobaugh bridge in Freeport.

What i love the most about living here might be all the rivers, bridges, and hills because it can make for some stunning scenery. I can't find any photos to do it justice, but the approach is stunning.

You begin the approach several miles back and all you see is just lower class suburbia for a few miles, that pays no real attention to the massive waterway very close by(Allegheny river). You pass a shopping center with a wal-mart, some other stores, then about a mile of nothing. Then you descend, still with bland scenery, then all of a sudden during the descent the trees and foliage to the right cut out and you see this massive bridge at the confluence of the Kiskiminetas River and Allegheny river come out of nowhere, while still being high enough to appreciate the vantage point before you get down to bridge level to cross over into Westmoreland.

I cannot find a photo of the exact spot I am talking about, but this is the bridge. Lots of space to hide around there, and certainly lots of space for the view to be hidden until you get smacked in the face with it.
