Quirky town with unique name

Message from Lora Pope

Dildo, a small community in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, is known for its quirky name that has sparked some attention over the years. The origin of the name is a bit mysterious, but it dates back to at least 1711. Despite some efforts to change it in the past, the town has embraced its unique moniker. In 2019, the town gained even more fame when it was featured on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, with the host being named honorary mayor and Hollywood declared as Dildo's sister city. It's worth a stop to get a photo with the new sign, and drop in for a pint at Dildo Brewery.
