Jo went to Muddy Creek Forks in Brogue, Chanceford Township, recently, as part of a surprise trip with the local historical society.
She took this nice photo of Muddy Creek that I wanted to share:
One thing you'll notice... people around here don't call it "Brogue," though that's the village's name. They call it the Brogue. Why, I don't know! Maybe it works like saying "the Susquehanna Trail" or something.
You're too young to remember the Carpenters, which is what everyone called them--The Carpenters. But their choice was to be called Carpenters which is difficult to say without the THE. There are just some words that require a THE for them to roll off the tongue and to not sound like you can't speak the King's
English!
