Football Field

 

This applies regardless if it is Australian rules, Irish, Canadian, US or Soccer ..... they are all a large grassy yard where grown boys, who call themselves men, play a game which many view as a job/career.

... and get extremely well paid for it.

Joondalup  -Northern suburb of Perth. WA

 

The name Joondalup is a Noongar Aboriginal word, first recorded in 1837 and possibly meaning either "place of whiteness or glistening", or "place of a creature that can only move backwards"

Sopchoppy, Florida, US

 

Sopchoppy is a city in Wakulla County, Florida and has a population of about 500 people.

 

The town is home to the annual Worm Grunting Festival, a town celebration named in honor of a worm grunting - a method for driving worms to the surface of the earth. Worm grunters hammer wooden stakes into the ground, then rub them with metal slabs. The resulting vibrations cause worms to surface, whereupon they are typically gathered and used or sold for fishing bait.

 

Sopchoppy is one of those places that, unless you meant to go there, you would probably never end up there.

 

There is not a KH in Sopchoppy, it is part of the Crawfordville, Fl Congregation. The KH in Crawfordville is currently having a major remodel by the LDC.

Just a thought, not exactly off topic, but not a "place name" .....

 

We now have nearly 500 posts in this thread. We have gone through the alphabet several times. What I have started doing is to search the forum for a place name before I post it so I won't repeat one that has already been used

 

 

So far, I don't think we have repeated, but ........
