Random Hip Reference Sightings... - Zenith - 06-25-2007

Not the snappiest title I know, but I had to share this!

I've just gotten back from a climbing trip to Hereford in the West Midlands (on the border of Wales - I used to go to uni there), and as we were driving around looking for the campsite I spotted this on the map!

Sadly, there wasn't anyone else in the car to share my excitement (and they wouldn't drive me there Sad) so I thought I'd share it here. Has anyone else seen any other random Hip references?

I have a Fiddlers Green here in Hamilton(actually Ancaster)

Yep, Fiddler's Green here in London, ON as well. I always make sure to look when I drive by, lol.

i live 2 streets over from it
i never really thought about it until a friend was visiting from out of town and said "holy shit......we're on fiddler's green"

They should have referenced the 403 instead of the 401 in Titanic Terrarium, then they could have referenced the Fiddler's Green exit.

IQ2000....I totally forgot about that game. Man I used to love playing that..it's the only reason I know the order of the planets in our Solar System. With the 1 notable omission now of Pluto. I actually read somewhere recently that not only is Pluto no longer considered a Planet, being considered a Dwarf Planet, but that it's not even the largest Dwarf Planet out there...poor poor Pluto.

I'm moving up to North Bay for a while, drove up a few times trying to find a place to live, kept passing the Lofty Pines Motel sign in Bracebridge.

There used to be a billboard near my place for something or other, and the tagline for the company being advertised was FULLY COMPLETELY. The first time I saw it I was listening to a live Hip show in my car, and FC had just finished playing about five minutes prior.

I work at Canada Post and I just spent the last 3 months delivering on Fiddler's Green. Its full of condos and old people. I know Ive seen others in my travels, I just cant think of any right now, too much sun today my brain is fried.

There's a fantastic pub in the Winter Park section of Orlando named Fiddler's Green. Legendary for the golf darts, I hear...

A friend and I were once on a road trip from Orlando to Atlanta, to see CAKE at The Tabernacle. It was a great show - the best CAKE show I've ever seen! Anywho, on the way there we passed the Abraham Baldwin Agri College. The road signs identified the college by its acronym, ABAC. I still kick my self for not snapping a pic of the huge green road sign showing ABAC.
