Check out the Moby Dick B&B in Nahcotta, on the Long Beach Peninsula in Washington:

There's a Moby Dick's in Newport, OR on the coast. It's a bar/seafood sort of place.

Seems like Google would be of more help than a bunch of Sloggers, though...

Gee, sounds like nothing a good Google search couldn't take care of...

Hey, there's a mopy dick that lives right next door to me! ...Oh. Damn dyslexia.

It's actually really easy with Google maps: just bring up a map of, say, the western half of the US, type "Moby Dick" and click the Search button, and you'll get markers for all the establishments with that name.

Now you're talking. Nice photo. Makes me want to pick it, maybe get a package.

Google gives me a restaurant in White Rock, BC; a motel in Nanaimo, BC; a fish'n'chips joint in Medicine Hat, AB; a hostel in Seward, AK; the Moby Dick Inn (which sounds dirty) in Prince Rupert, BC; a bar in the Castro in SF and one in San Diego; a street name in Oxnard, CA; restaurants in Santa Barbara and Ventura, CA; a pool supply place in Glendale, AZ; and a Moby Dick Supplies in Tucson (which I think is actually a dick supply store run by pop starlet Moby).

On the other side of the water, she missed Moby Dick in Shaarbeek, Belgium; and a whole list of places in England and Wales: Wansbeck, Hull, Louth, Stoke, Derby, Birmingham, Coventry, King's Lynn, Weymouth, Southampton, Brighton, Chatham, Hemel Hempstead, and even far-off Fishguard.

That's pretty funny – the Bernd and Hilla Becher of Moby Dick signs. Driving across the country recently I was thinking someone should do that with all the businesses called "Git 'er Done" (Git 'er Done Plumbing, Gitter Dun Taxidermy, Get er Done Demolition... the specimens are endless throughout Missouri, Kentucky, and points south).

Yeah -- Moby Dick in the Castro is one of San Francisco's two best gay bars (the other being Truck, IMO). "Best" meaning "great for anybody into fit, handsome 32-year-olds, possibly with beards."
