    It looks like Dildo N.L. is actually a real place and no one knows why it’s called that lol

        Did they have a gift shop full of trinkets that say things like “there’s a little Dildo in all of us” or something similar? It would be worth the trip just for that lol

          “Dildo is for Dildo Lovers” bumper stickers would be flying off the shelf!

            My truck driver boyfriend went to Beaver one time and now he has an “I love Beaver” keychain that I love.

          100%. Honestly it’s mostly just a sleepy fishing town with one. And a good brewery, decent restaurants.

      I have a shirt from their brewery (Dildo brewery) from someone who was there at some point. Definitely real.

      But the people in South Dildo, N.L. know exactly why it is named the way it is 😏
      (Yes that one is real too, and as you’d guess it’s south of Dildo)
