Northern Kentucky Has A Dirty Mind
May 9, 2008 – 10:25 amYou might recall that earlier this week I posted a map of the intersection of Beaver and Big Bone in an area of Northern Kentucky. Well, upon exploring the area further, I’ve found that this could be the area with the dirtiest place names in the country.
Clockwise from lower left: Beaverlick, a place you’ll hit if you keep going down Beaver Road from where it hooks up with Big Bone; Big Bone Lick State Park, where “going down the road” could take on a whole meaning; Sugartit, the birthplace of sexual harassment by creepy old men; and Petersburg, which wouldn’t sound dirty under any other circumstances, but given that it’s right up the river from Big Bone Lick, I have to wonder.

Meh. I live by the corner of Seaman and Cumming, one block from Dyckman. Nothing shocks me anymore.

Ha! That explains Bone Lick Park on Greenwich Ave. I’ve always wondered.

You forgot to mention that Sugartit is nestled happily along Pleasant Valley Rd.
