    I am the kind of tourist who visits towns to take pictures of the city limit sign. I think my favorite so far is Tipperary in Ireland. It actually says "you've come a long way". Lol. That trip I also took a picture of a souvenir street sign in a gift shop in Kilkenny (mostly becauseof South Park…even tho Idon'twatch the show), and several others based on either a famous landmark (Alnwick, Stratford-upon-Avon, Limerick, etc.), or the hometown of twin Harry Potter actors. I wanted proof that I had actually been there, even if I didn't have time to stop and buy anything.

    I live an hour from Boring Oregon. It’s southeast of Portland on the Mt Hood Highway.

    You need to look into Intercourse, Pennsylvania. Ironically it’s not that far from another town called, Virginville.

    I grew up in Gresham, just north of Boring. I had several friends in high school from Boring. Indeed, one of my teachers in grade school was William Boring’s great-granddaughter.

    To get to Cocking in West Sussex UK you must drive through both Upper Dicker and Lower Dicker. On the subject of inuendos. Thers also Sandy Balls resort near the New Forrest, Peniston in Yorkshire and Tosstock in Suffolk. Im sure there is also a town in Scandinavia called Hell, and it regularly freezes over.

    I thought that Boring, Oregon was named after what pine beetles did to pine trees.

    I rather live in "Boring" than places like "The Loneliness", "The Ball pain", "Deceased", "Periodswamp" or "Dongvagina". Translated into English, these are real places here in Sweden 🙂

    In Norwegian "Bland" means "Mix",
