Nobody is just passing through.

Some places are really at the end of the line. When you get there, that's as far as you can go. Towns like Key West, Florida, for example. Once you get to Key West, that's the end of the road. There is no passing through. Provincetown, on the tip of Cape Cod is like that. But it isn't always places surrounded by water. It can be mountains. I used to live in Neon, Kentucky, a long time ago and it was almost the end of the road. Lump together the towns of Neon, Fleming and McRoberts, and that is as far as you could go. Even the railroad stopped there. Neon had a triangle of railroads so trains could turn around to go back the other way. At least they did in 1948.

Can you think of any other end-of-the-road towns?
