Effingham

  1. I grew up just south of st. Louis, near the town of Festus, MO. For a good burger, go to Stoplight hamburgers, downtown Festus. I lived outside of town at 1992 Plattin Rd, Festus. http://www.montessoridatabase.com/montessoridb/festus.jpg

  2. ben folds wrote a song about effingham and the road to normal, you should've rocked it at the gas station, he changed it to effington because it worked better for the song, you too could start a new effing life.

  3. from the wikipedia:

    Ben Folds's album Way to Normal includes a track that was inspired while driving by Effingham, although the song refers to the city as "Effington"; it similarly refers to "effing in their yards/effing in their cars/effing in the trailers in the back roads and the parking lots of Effington."[4]
