Whats funny about intercourse pa is alot of Amish live close by. I believe thats Lancaster co. We lived there for a cpl yrs.
I had the biggest juiciest peach id ever had in my entire life there. It was so big... Idht eat again for the rest of that day. I hope to return there over the next few yrs. We loved it there
Right near Intercourse is Bird in Hand ,Pa.
What kind of bird? 🤣
I live in 84 PA and work in pancake lol
Went to school near Scranton and could never get past Chinchilla.
In Washington, PA, there’s a road called The Road.
Right near it is a road called The Circle
And of course, in downtown Pittsburgh, there’s a road called The Blvd.
Interesting! I didn’t know any of that
@@Noles.Explores The Road has become a common reoccurring meme between me and my wife.
Anyways, we both love your videos! Can’t wait for the sequel to this one!
Colver, PA just north of Revloc!
I was waiting for you to mention Eighty-Four, though you may have decided to exclude it because it's not a municipality but just a CDP
There’ll be many more installments of this, don’t worry!
Plus, around all of those other excitable towns, there's a place called Virginville.
Grew up in North East. Even better they are the Grape Pickers. Their mascot...bunch of 🍇
I love unique mascots!
@@Noles.Explores our rivals, Harborcreek Huskies, came up with squash those grapes. Oh also, NE nose pickers 🤣 the good ole days.
I spent my last two years in Akron Oh and graduated there. They had a field day with me. First, my nickname was Pa cause I kept saying PA instead of Pennsylvania (duh), then my school mascot, and lastly like you mentioned in your video. North East but in northwestern part of the state. LOL
Legend has it. The founder of the town, stood upon the hill looking over the county and Lake Erie. More then likely where I-90 is. He was like this is North East. Fits lol
Jim Thorpe, PA.
Seeing someone I went to high school with pop up in my recommended feed with quality geography content was not something I was expecting today. Good stuff Noles. Nice book as well
Thanks man!
Wasnt expecting to see Blacklick s/o indiana county.
Fun fact: nearby Torrance, PA used to be called Libengood Summit (then Blairsville Intersection before finally becoming Torrance) which was named after my family which there was a lot of in that area at the time
That is a fun fact! Thanks for sharing. What a beautiful area that is
Nice
Ever been to Girdletree, MD?
I haven’t, but I like that name!
And 84, and McKees Rocks there are tons of them
I always liked the name 84. Really lets just name a town after the year it was founded??? ha ha!
In reality it was named 84 because it was at the 84-mile maker for the rail system
Negative. Former coal camp named after its mine number.
Some of my favorites are
Spaces Corners
Venus
Mann's Choice
Blawnox
King of Prussia
Litiz
Eighty Four
North East mentioned 🗣
i can only think of one thing i wanna do in that tunnel😂 🍻
I'm fond of 84 and Laboratory.
Great video! There's so many unusual town names in PA. Probably could do a whole clip of ones that were inspired by "the old country" - like New Germany, Nanty Glo, etc.
That’s a good idea!
Egypt,pa.,butztown,pa.
I really like this channel, I’m not from PA, and I’m learning so much. (:
Thank you! That means a lot. I’ve got many more ideas, so stay tuned :)
First of all in Pennsyltucky it's not a creek,it's a crick.
no a crick is smaller, can jump over. a creek is boatable usually. 🍻
@@niteshades_promise In my neck of the woods. It's either a crick or a river and that's it.
Conshohocken
Hey bud. Just discovered your channel and love it. Big fan of local history, coal, railroads, maps, ect. Looking forward to more.
