Speaking of punctuation, did you know that, in order to make their small town seem more exciting, the citizens of Hamilton!, Ohio legally added an exclamation point to the end of the town's name?

This place is destined to be the setting for a musical.
Awesome. On par with Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, which renamed itself as part of a '50s radio promotion (it was originally called Hot Springs)
Mike- Yes!
Josh- What was the radio promoting?
this was a good idea, Hamilton!
Christina -
from wikipedia: Originally called "Hot Springs", it took the name of a popular radio program in 1950, when Truth or Consequences host Ralph Edwards announced that he would do the program from the first town that renamed itself after the show. Ralph Edwards came to the town during the first weekend of May for the next fifty years. This event was called the "Fiesta" and included a beauty contest, parade, and a stage show.
