I remember to this day the mercury soaked Oregon clay and how it poisoned the town and we moved away Me and you and the P O named Foo traveling without articles on the land Well anyway who knew Sorry about that I just happened across the article because my sister s favorite candy is nonpareils and when I saw there was an Oregon town named that I just had to read about it Thought maybe I caught a boo boo but I should ve known better Anyway I wonder how the town is pronounced I have a sneaking suspicion it is was pronounced non PAIR ee yull especially given the alternate spelling that is probably more accurate as to the pronunciation I might ve missed the COI as well but will poke around and see what I can find
