Whynot, North Carolina

If you're looking to visit North Carolina soon, you should probably add this to your bucket list. Why not visit Whynot, anyway? If you do visit, you might want to speak to the locals and find out why this small town was given such a name. After all, nobody really knows why - but legend suggests that the townsfolk just couldn't decide on a name, and entered into a heated debate.
