I love Intercourse! (The town in PA, that is. Get your minds out of the gutter!)

Hahaha, Beaverlick. Never heard of that town before.

Yeah, Flushing may take the cake.

LOL...my grandfather has a bunch of road signs in his work area with the decidedly coitus centered town names like Intercourse, Bird in Hand and Blue Ball...

Is there still a "Jersey Shore"???? years ago when traveling between State College and Pittston; the out of area driver saw the sign for Jersey Shore, on the interstate,and left the highway and routed around so we could go away from Jersey....we ended up going back the way we started. It was late at night and we were taking turns sleeping/driving. lol

But neither Scranton or WB is a big as Dallas or Ft. Worth, so we don't deserve metroplex status. They're a major league area and we're a minor league area, if you want to think of it sports terms.

Fine, then how about the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Microplex?
