Look just south of Portland, north of I205 (about 1/4 mile).  Wanker's
Corner is the intersection of Stafford Road--from Lake Oswego to Stafford,
thence to Wilsonville--and OR 212, which runs from Tualatin to, of all
places, Boring!  Last time I was there, though, OR 212 had been
decommissioned.  Or maybe it's 213?  But anyway, it's the section that runs
from Tualatin to West Linn.

West Linn is another bizarrity--there is no Linn that it is west of!  I
only lived there for four years, though, driving to Beaverton via Wankers
Corner, many times.

Speaking of bizarrities:  East Point, GA is well to the north of West
Point, GA.
