 "SEE 7 STATES FROM BEAUTIFUL LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN & SEE ROCK CITY AND THE RUBY FALLS" painted on barns all over the south. Lookout Mountain is a hill in southern Tennessee that alleges you can see 7 states, but all you really see is trees.  A town in rural southern Indiana that wanted to be named "Santa Fe" but was told by the US Post Office it was taken. So when asked for a new name they went with the smart rear end response of "Santa Claus" which was accepted. A local tycoon took his kids to Santa Claus and saw it was some tiny town of around 20 people and decided to build a large Christmas-themed village there, which eventually turned into Holiday World, the world's first Theme Park. The town isn't a trap, really. It's more of a theme park with a Christmas themed suburb attached, but whatever.
