What are your favorite town line anomalies?

I understand the Food Court at the Pheasant Lane Mall was placed in MA because the meals tax rate was lower than NH.

The Watkins Town Forest in Merrimack extends into Bedford and I understand Bedford sent tax bills out to somebody for that land and they got paid for some years.

Decades ago, when I was a Selectman, there was discussion about our official duty to meet Selectmen from adjoining towns to perambulate the town lines.

I have also heard that the room where you sleep is your domicile for voting purposes. Perhaps this varies from state to state?
