And nearby on the map is Cut and Shoot, Texas:
According to one local legend, Cut and Shoot was named after a 1912 community confrontation that almost led to violence. According to differing versions of the story, the dispute was over:
The design of a new steeple for the town’s only church,
The issue of who should be allowed to preach there, or
The conflicting land claims among church members.
Whatever the circumstances were, a small boy at the scene reportedly said he was scared and declared, “I’m going to cut around the corner and shoot through the bushes in a minute!” This statement apparently stayed in the residents’ minds and was eventually adopted as the town’s name.[7] “Cut and Shoot” has frequently been noted on lists of unusual place names.
Intercourse Pennsylvania ? full of ugly women .....but they seem to love power outages .
I used to live near Cut and Shoot. I used to joke with people that you could drive every one of those backroads and never see a brick. Lots of pit bulls and cars up on blocks.
