LOL, everyone who hasn't lived in SE PA (and many who have) add that "s" at the end.

Bird in Hand got it's name from the old adage "A bird in hand is worth two in the bush".

It’s just a place near Punxsutawney where they have an obsession with groundhogs. But Pennsylvania seems to have some interesting names.

... they decided to change the name when they got a domain on the Internet, and now they're Arcadia University, and admit men.

Really beautiful main building, quite old built from the local stone. I drove past it frequently.

Three Way AZ. Reminds me of a looming 2024 Senate race in that same state. The current incumbent is self-inflicted toast. The GOP challenger is batshit crazy. That leaves one rational choice!

It's not Micco - Suck - ee

There is a Two Egg, FL and Needmore, FL though.

Even after seeing the sign on the highway, it seemed too preposterous for the name of a town.

Smokin Pork n Butts was an annual event at the Butts County fairground but I think they stopped. They still have BBQ contests in Cumming, GA.

Yeah, I've been through those Lancaster towns several times. Virginville is one county over, in Berks.

And for the last time, it's Blue Ball, not Blue Balls!

and declared themselves a separate republic (The Great Republic of Rough and Ready), as a tax protest. Then after three months they voted to "rejoin" the Union.

Those are all small towns in Southern Utah. It's a local joke to pronounce them in that sequence.
