DESCRIPTION
Is this town really "Boring"?
That's the question lots of people ask when they walk into the Post Office in Boring, Maryland, a town of about 450 people 20 miles north of Baltimore.
For the citizens of Boring, well, they're not offended by the question; they're use to it -- and they take it with humor, because most of them like their town just the way it is.
Find Boring on a map, in an atlas, or online, and share its location with students. Then collect a variety of map resources for students and challenge them to find the most unique place names they can find on those maps.
