It is almost a ghost town. Canada will not allow entrance (and hasn’t for over a year). The ferry is pretty much the only way in of out.
People have moved out in droves.

France actually uses more time zones — 12 — than Russia or anywhere else in the world, due to its overseas territories.

The Florida panhandle has three counties in a row--Santa Rosa, Okaloosa and Walton. Santa Rosa Island is in Okaloosa, not Santa Rosa. Santa Rosa Beach is in Walton, not Santa Rosa. Fort Walton is in Okaloosa, not Walton.
And the next county is Bay, which contains a significantly smaller bay than Walton.
I also find it amusing that Bay St. Louis is on St. Louis Bay.

Are there 2 Johnsonvilles in NC?
There is one about an Hour from Raleigh
OP out here spreading misinformation. Johnsonville NC is in central NC and only 40 miles from Raleigh.
I'm guessing his fact could be trusted if it was an actual SW town in NC but he can't be trusted at this point.

Google maps is not the end all be all. It is basing that off of a road. That area in your picture is Cherokee County, NC. Cherokee County does not recognize it as having any local government per the Cherokee Chamber, and its not listed the US Census data.
