I live in Tunkhannock Township, PA. But there are two "Tunkhannock Townships" in Pennsylvania.
Tunkhannock Tsp., Wyoming Couty, PA.
Tunkhannock Tsp., Monroe County, PA.

Yup. Paul Revere rode through my hometown screaming "The regulars are coming". This was his famous midnight ride before the Battle of Lexington and Concord. His ride is re-enacted every year. I've seen it all my life pretty much, well if I am here. It is special.

My town has a big banner strung across main street celebrating 250 years of existence. I beg to differ. I'm pretty sure, 250 years ago, the  town was one cabin and a field with a dirt path winding through it.

In Perth WA, Midland to be a bit more accurate, we have Mad Dog Adrian. He's been around for ages and is generally harmless but definitely anti-social. It seems that lately he's been getting trolled quite savagely.
