My oldest son's name is Stephen. Is that his town?

I'm glad it's spelled the way that it is. Not only that but it's in my home state - albeit somewhat distant from where I live. But I know it well.

When I used to make the 4-5 hour drive up to college, I would pass through a tiny dot on the map named "Stephentown, New York" (not too far from Albany). I always used to smile when I saw the sign at the town line:
WELCOME
TO THE ONLY
STEPHENTOWN
ON EARTH
No possibility of confusion there...
Corvair Content: Stephentown, NY is not all that far from both Clark's Corvair Parts and Cotrofeld's. The drive to Clarks would take about an hour from Stephentown and follows along the Mohawk Trail. The Mohawk Trail is a really great Corvair road with many turns, including the locally famous Hairpin Turn in Clarksburg, Mass (http://www.cardcow.com/images/set371/card00280_fr.jpg).
