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.
