Been to Boring. It's not. From a Indiana native: North Platte is South, South Bend is North, and French Lick ain't what it sounds like. That was from the Polish Corps of Engineers, of which I am an honorary member. I'm Irish, I can say that, and still be PC (whatever that is).
Boring Oregon is actually named after my great great grandfather William H. Boring. He homesteaded out here in the late 1800s and donated some land for the first school in the area. They named it Boring grade school. When the trains came through they called it Boring junction and eventually it just became known as Boring. My father recently just sold the last 20 acres of the original homestead. Kind of sad to see it go. There you go. More than you ever wanted to know about Boring. Haha
