Although, he only mentioned Laurendale and Reading.
A quick Google seems to indicate Muhlenberg has the same zip code.
I reckon the folks in Muhlenburg are full of joy at having the same
ZIP code as those larger towns.
ZIP trivia: The Zone Improvement Code system used by the USPS was
modeled after the German postleitzahl system, and introduced in 1963.
Interstate highway trivia: (1) Highway engineers of the Third Reich
were sent to America about 1930 to study the Merritt Parkway (in
Connecticut) for ideas on designing the Autobahn system. (2) When General of the Army
Dwight D. Eisenhower saw how well the Autobahn system supported the waging
of a war, he made a mental note of it. (3) When President Dwight D.
Eisenhower was in office, he persuaded the US Congress to fund a massive highway
system, which was originally called the Dwight D. Eisenhower National
System of Interstate and Defense Highways.
We now return you to the discussion of the song "Mule-in-Burg Joys,"
which was written to express the happiness of local farmers at having their
manual workload reduced when mules were first brought to the town of Burg
auf Fehmarn, Germany, in 1925.
