This is about as trivial as it gets, but kinda surprised me. I watched "The Spooky Fog" last night...one of the New Movies episodes with Don Knotts...which takes place in the town of Juneberry.
Well just for the fun of it, I searched both GoogleMaps and MapQuest to see where a real-life Juneberry might be, and nothing came up at all. Plenty of Juneberry Streets and Juneberry Avenues, but no communities with that name.
Being such a generic, common sounding name, I was sure there would be at least one. Appears to be purely mythical though. Surprised me.

They just made it up to sound like Mayberry from The Andy Griffith Show, since Don Knotts was on that show.

I just meant that with that common a name you'd think there'd be a real one somewhere. I mean, compared to Byzantia for example which is completely made up, Juneberry is actually a real word. That's true that the name was in homage to Mayberry though. The DVD package even has a quiz question on that one. Mark

Yes, it seems like there would be a real Juneberry somewhere, with the name sounding so common and simple.
