Some places are going to town on their branding - by using trademarked slogans to attract visitors. Or should that be to keep them away?
Las Vegas’ slogan should certainly attract anyone out for a good time:
Las Vegas: What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas
And Hershey, Pennsylvania, definitely sounds worth a visit:
Hershey: the sweetest place on earth
Others are more obscure, like this one:
Eagle Pass, Texas: Where yee-hah meets Ole
Whereas Newport, Oregon has a more limited appeal: Newport: the Dungeness crab capital of the world
And some are plain weird:
Marshall, Missouri: Smart dog, nice folks.
I can live with the nice folks. Not so sure about the smart dog, though. Even though it might be the talk of the town.
