Re: THE FIRST OF FIFTY FUNNY TOWN NAMES

Gnaw Bone, Indiana

Toad Hop, Indiana

Ballstown, Indiana

 

Just to name a few.  We're may also known for the pronounciations of other town names, such as Versailles & Russiaville.

PA. also has a Blue Ball which is near Intercourse. The l name of the town I grew up in in N.J. was originally called Sodom and was then changed at some point before my time.

I know Pensylvania has some interesting town names. 


Intercourse, Pa.?


@Mz iMac Many, many moons ago when living in CA, I had a friend who had to go out of town on company business, Intercourse, PA is where he went.  He sent me a postcard while there and addressed it to "Sexy Liz".  I'm sure my mailman got a kick out of that.  I still have that postcard. Woman LOL

On an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond he says he had to drive all the way to Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey.  I thought it was a made-up, name and then I passed the sign one day lol
