A friend of mine arrived in the Bay Area from India years ago. As a gay man he wanted to visit the Castro in San Francisco so he hopped on the BART train and went to a stop called Castro (Valley). I think he walked around for a bit wondering what all the fuss was about (Castro Valley is not particularly gay, or interesting at all for that matter).

I wonder how many of these suburban neighbourhoods exist, with unexpected tourism due to transit stations sharing a name with a local landmark.
