On the MA for ILS36L, MREON intersection is right above Marion, AR. WALLZ on the MA for 18R is over Walls, MS.

How's about the old 29 RNAV approach into EWR that had the names SLUMM ORFAN over Jersey City. I think Sharpton got a hold of it and they cancelled it.

Yes, that intersection is definitely named after the old Twinkletown airport.

There are some intersting music themed names up around BNA.

Mcghe was a controller that died of cancer, so I was told. Twinkle, used to be a small grass strip around a community called Twinketown.

I think LTOWM is for LaGrange TN where Wilder lives, which is close to the fix.

I remember driving by Twinkle town airport as a kid. You have also if you have driven to Tunica, down Highway 61. It has been a few years but I believe the hanger is still there.

Yeah, we've got the GUITR arrival, VOLLS arrival, and the Titan 1 departure, but I'm still waiting for a MTSU themed intersection at KMBT. UZFUR and URACE are lame.
