Oblong, Illinois

From Wikpedia:

Oblong was also featured in a prominent headline in the Chicago Tribune - "Oblong Man Marries Normal Woman" - referring to the matrimony of a man from Oblong, Illinois and woman from Normal, Illinois.

Got any other stories behind the postmark?

Smack dab in the middle of England,
In between two motorways.

We have the very pleasant sounding,
but no seaside...........

Not a postmark... but somewhere special. I'm currently researching to find out if there was a post office in this small Scottish village. A postmark from here would be fantastic.
