The "Lancaster Towns with unique Names" Story

Lancaster County's very own "Unique Town" name.

It was an ordinary day.  Tuned into one of the travel forums that I  regularly check to see what was is going on in St. Martin where Carol and I will travel to in the coming months for some needed sun and relaxation.  One of the links on the SXMTravelForum is titled "Funnies" and I usually click on it read the jokes or funny stories that are posted.  Today there was a story that struck close to home.  Story titled "Unique Town Names" appeared and it was about five towns in the United States that had very unusual and unique names.   I read a short paragraph about the first four and then when I scrolled down to the fifth town, there was a photo of the town sign that I have in my iPhoto library.  Wow, one of the five towns featured in the story is five miles from my house called Intercourse, PA.  The remarks about it tell how the town got its name.  Goes like this: "Another theory concerns two famous roads that crossed here. The Old King's highway from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh (now the Old Philadelphia Pike) ran east and west through the center of the town. The road from Wilmington to Erie intersected in the middle. The joining of these two roads is claimed by some to be the basis for the town 'Cross Keys' or eventually 'Intercourse'.  A final idea comes from the use of language during the early days of the Village. The word 'intercourse' was commonly used to describe the 'fellowship' and 'social interaction and support' shared in the community of faith, which was much a part of a rural village like this one." The reason that it made the list though is not because of the reasoning above, but because of the sexual connotation it references.  Other towns in the story were: (1) Hell, Michigan where in the winter you can actually watch Hell freeze over; (2) Boring, Oregon which calls itself an exciting place to live and work; (3) Truth or Consequences, New Mexico which carries its name since Ralph Edwards of the radio and TV quiz show of the same name offered to air his show from the first town that renamed itself in the program's honor; (4) Bugtussle, Oklahoma which gained fame by being mentioned on "Petticoat Junction"; and (5) Intercourse, PA.  I have lived all my life near Intercourse and it isn't as unique as it once was to me.  Same goes for the following towns that are a short drive from my house and certainly are just as unique as some of the other four that were mentioned in the story: (1,2 and 3) The three "Bs" from the Amish country being Blue Ball, Bareville and Bird In Hand.  You go through them and finally reach (4) Paradise; (5) Governor Dick; (6) Falmouth; (7) Lickdale; (8) Fertility; (9) Virginville; (10) Raunchtown; (11) Fearnot; (12) Jugtown; (13) Beaverdale; (14) and the one that is a little longer drive and harder to find, Climax.  What do you think?  Pennsylvania have a few towns that rival or top the list that was presented in the link on SXMTravelForum?  You betcha we do!!  It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
