MANTECA (CBS13) – A man arrested in Manteca is accused of committing four armed robberies in a span of 74 minutes on Thursday and stealing a Prius, authorities said.
The fast-moving crime spree stretched from Manteca to Lathrop with several law enforcement agencies teaming up to catch the suspect. In less than two hours Thursday afternoon, seven businesses reported being robbed by a man in a black hoodie.
So there's a town in California which has a name, when translated into English, that means 'lard'? I thought Boca Raton, Florida was weird enough -- 'Rat Mouth'.
I fondly recall seeing the signs for both during trips up and down I-15. Grew up in So Cal, relocated to Nor Cal before shaking the dust of the place from my sandals entirely 20+ years ago.

ReplyDeleteYou think that's bad? There's an aptly named town a few miles south of that on 33 called Los Banos - roughly translated to 'The Toilets'.
ReplyDeleteWhat else is there to do on a Thursday in Manteca? Might as well stir things up a bit.
