Interesting names of Buildings, Businesses, Churches, etc......
 
As I drive through the city I have seen some interesting names.....
for instance, I saw a barber shop called IN-2-Wishin'....:) and this one church called Rushing Mighty Wind Church of Christ.
Have you seen any?

One of my sorority sisters go to a church called On Fire Ministries. I was kinda tripped out at that.

The Catholic elementary school near my office is called Our Lady of Sorrows. It always makes me wonder if the kids are "sorry" that they have to go there rather than spend the day playing. ;)

This is a little off color, but: There is a company in my town called Advanced Security Systems. I hope they don't use an acronym. :eek:

Arlington Child Development Center had a big ole sign on their building that said "AC-DC" - that used to trip me out!

ROTFL I'd rather go to On Fire Ministries. Smoking For Jesus...just makes me think of worshipping with Snoop and listening to "The Chronic" as I walk in.

There is a church in SW Atlanta called The Perfect Church. My grandma's been a member for years..., but the name doesn't sit well with my family.

Do they still run the Beautiful Resturant? They always had the slamming smothered pork chops when I was in school!

One of the Winans Brothers pastors a church called, I think, Perfecting Church, but I do think that is a little better. Perfect says you are already there, Perfecting says you are trying to get there.

In Nassau, Bahamas
 
There was this "'Cuz I Need A Liquor Store"...

And somewhere on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, LA, there was this Chinese place called "Takee Outee"...

Haven't seen much craziness in names where I currently live... But it may be a matter of time.
