Bianca Taylor,
A lot of us Californians like to hit the open road, explore miles of highway, and venture off onto some back roads. Sometimes, KQED comes across towns with some pretty bizarre and surprising names, from Rough and Ready to Bumpass Hell. For the first installment in their series "A Place Called What?!" they headed to Zzyzx, California.
If you've driven on Interstate 15 near Death Valley, you've probably passed a sign for a town with a name you couldn't pronounce: Zzyzx (ZYE-ZIX).
