Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for January 06, 2019

If Second is first and First is third, is Main second?

According to the below site. Second is first, third is second and first is third. It’s almost like “Who’s on First?”

Fourth is actually listed as fourth. Main is seventh.

I understand that not all first streets are named First, but are they saying that there are cities with a Second Street, but no Third Street? Or Fourth Street? That’s a little hard to believe.

In Cambridge, Massachusetts, First Street is followed by Second Street. Then Third Street, Fourth Street, Fifth Street, and Sixth Street.

Is Today pitching and Tomorrow catching ?

In Phoenixville do they bother to build the whole hand, or just the one finger?

There is a lot of confusion about Jeanne d’Arc.

How can there be a 2nd street without a 1st street? ;o}

……and Joan of Arc looks just like Ingrid Bergman!

And Catholics killed her……

& then there was the guy who thought Joan of Arc was Noah’s wife!

I’ll bet those goofs in Phoenixville posted a video of this ritual on YouTube. ‘Not too much gas, Earl! Hold my beer!” Sounds like a great time!

It’s been proven that most “First” streets are usually the streets to be renamed for commemorative reasons; which would make “Second” street the most common remaining street name.

I’ve been hearing conflicting “facts” about the most popular street names in the USA. These are the contenders: Main, Park, Maple, and Elm. Maybe a numbered streeet name doesn’t count?

Who’s on 2nd.

Is there a 13th street?

And who hasn’t been to Burning Bird???

Lived in Phoenixville for 3 years…….never heard of the flaming bird!

Joan of Arc didn’t have Trump as Commander in Chief…

The Phoenixville Firebird Festival was started by some local artists in 2004 but has taken on a life of its own. I’ve lived in town since 2005 but have never been to see the burning bird. There’s just something unappealing about standing outside on a cold December night with my bad back & arthritic hip…

In my town, it says “2nd,” not “2st.”

That’s nothing. Traci Lords was turning heads around at 15…

Who’s on 4th??
