Hey Eich,

Yup. My Dad was from Western Pa and they do have some interesting place names there. Some of them go back 300 years or more. One I can recall right away is Bushy Run. Ring any bells?
Find yourself a good map of the state and be prepared for some entertainment.

We've compared notes on language and colloquialisms for a long while, mate... so you probably guessed that over here both those words are fully loaded

Seriously Mate, you can't make up this stuff. My Dad's younger brother lived in Uniontown for many years. There is a small town NE of there called LeMont Furnace. The only reasonable explanation that I can come up with for that name is that is somebody must have been running a blacksmith's shop at some time or another.
Run your finger on the map about 50 miles down the Monongahela River (colloquially called the Mighty Mon) from Pittsburgh and you will find my Dad's hometown, California, Pa. It was called that after the California Goldrush.
