    The KKK hoisted a cross over the town back in the 1920s. It was removed.

    Later, in the 1960s, during the civil rights movement, it was put up again, anonymously, in the middle of the night.

    People fought to remove it for years and were re-buffed with “It’s a war memorial.”

    It was eventually moved out of town to a religious college a few miles away.

    I’ve said this before, but from my home, I could get to Bernie Sanders’ house faster than he can complete another commercial.

    The name contains characters that make it unusable as an account security question.

      Actually that’s not that obscure.

      Really obscure knowledge would be something like the sign for Ashton Road once had a plastic soldier taped to it for six months by this kid called Richard who once shat himself in primary school and rather than clean himself up spent most of the break trying to get other people to shit themselves like he was starting a new trend. He was unsuccessful.
