Podunk
When I moved to Sturbridge, Massachusetts in 2006, I thought I had found
the real Podunk. This
map shows Podunk Pike (Route 49) and Podunk Road. I cannot find
the Worcester Telegram & Gazette article that told about Podunk.
However, here is an
article that quotes from that article in the Worcester
Telegraph. I had thought it was a recent article, but it may have
been printed in 1941.
Now I find a web
site that claims that they are near the real Podunk.
Here is a map that shows their
Podunk.
Of course you can always go to WikiPedia to find the
whole story about Podunk. This is what led me to the article
that I mentioned above.
