Honestly I am not sure where I heard it the first time (been years ago though) or why it was even called that....but it stuck and it did with allot of other folks as well.
my sister lived there for 6-8 years. even some locals call it that. lol. think its just a pun cause small town with nothing too do.

weather not looking good.......
Not so far...I live maybe 10 minutes from there so I may venture up there if I am bored.
Not, the weather is looking bad at the moment. It looks like I could get there, but maybe not get home. I’m going to call Sam and see if any plans have changed.

I called Sam yesterday morning and canceled, as did a buddy of mine who also had a table. As far as I know, since that area is on the predicted fringe of the storm, the show will go on.

I went about 10:30. It was dead. About half of the tables were used. Still bought stuff I don't need though.

I figured that it would be dead and that others would probably cancel, too. I hate it for Sam, but this time of year the weather is always a crap shoot.
