Park City City Park
I love the absurdities of language and place names.
Park City, Utah has a city park called, not surprisingly, City Park, making its full name, one would think
Park City City Park.
Here it is!

Now, one would think that if "City" formed part of the city's name, one would not add "the City of..." beforehand, but here as you can see Daly City is actually The City Of Daly City.
Now, I wonder... is there a newspaper called The City Of Daly City Daily? One could only hope.

Is this place any where near Peter Piper's pepper plantation?
KiltieRod is right on this one. Do not follow my lead.

I'm almost surprised they didn't name the road "City Parkway"....

In Stockertown, PA there is a small park that is cut in two by the Bushkill Creek. They don't want you to park your vehicle on the side of the creek with the playground, so they erected 2 signs. On the playground side the sign reads, "No Parking in Park". On the other side of the creek a signs says, "Park Parking".

I live close to Park City Utah. It is a VERY unique community, a combination of the wealthy and an upscale tourist destination.

In my travels as a supplier engineer for General Motors, in Evansville, Indiana, iirc, I found a Street Road, and Boulevard Avenue. Unfortunately, they didn't meet, so I could not be standing at the corner of Street Road and Boulevard Avenue.

Unique means one of a kind. There cannot be anything that is very unique, or most unique.
Of course, any day now I expect to find that some hamlet in a forgotten US state has been named Most Unique City . . .
