You have to get through Intercourse and Leacock (pronounced lay-****) to get to Paradise, make a wrong turn and you'll find yourself in Blue Ball.

No, I didn't just make that up. It's the truth.

"Fracking" is also the name of a mining technique.

They're using it now for Natural Gas, and well, it hasn't gone smoothly. So they're, well, you know...

I was the night auditor at that hotel RIGHT next to that restaurant for four years before we moved here in MD. Same owner as the restaurant. I coached his son in high school for 3 years and he will be a senior on the Binghamton baseball team next year. Awesome people. That place is one of the many tourist attractions in the area. Like moths to a flame.

In case anyone's wondering why so many Dumb names, especially in PA, some of it 'cuz of the American German/Dutch areas, but most areas are named for the name of the (usually only) Hotel or tavern in that Village...

The town I live in here in Lancaster Pa is simply called Gap. And it's due south of intercourse......Interpret that as you may....

Been there many times, its a good restaurant with a decent smorgasboard where you sit at long tables with a bunch of strangers.
