Funny story about Morrisville, I was living in Greene county pa doing deliveries one night, stopped in at the Sunoco for a drink and gas.

An 18 wheeler pulls up, parks on the street. Guy comes out saying "hey guys, you know where Morrisville is?"

There is a little spot east of Waynesburg, PA known as Morrisville, no one calls it that though but it comes up on Google maps sometimes if you're kind of close and it's listed as Morrisville on just about any map.

We tell him about that, about 2 miles away, but I note to him it's mostly houses not sure where he would have to drop his stuff off at.

While he's trying to figure it out I see his load sheet papers and the name of the company he's delivering to, I read the phone number and it's a 215 area code. Having lived in Reading I knew 215 was Philly.

I do a quick Google search and realize the Morrisville he's looking for is on the opposite side of the state.

I break the bad news and tell him he drove to the wrong corner of the state.

"Ahhh man, ahhhhhhhh man, this ain't good, I just drove from Tennessee" is all he could muster out.

Ever since then I've been very aware of Pennsylvania's two Morrisville's.

The end.

I live outside of waynesburg (sycamore) and I’m not familiar with any Morrisville. I live in Morris Township, but I don’t know about Morrisville. Regardless, if the guy came from Tennessee, he’d hit southwestern PA en route to the Philadelphia area Morrisville, so it’s not like he drove from New Jersey to Waynesburg and then had to go back.

I think he probably stopped and rested or something which put him off schedule. They usually have like 2 hour delivery windows so he might have expected to deliver in Waynesburg area at 4 am and realized he was still 4 hours away.

Also heres the Wikipedia page on Morrisville near Waynesburg https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morrisville,_Greene_County,_Pennsylvania

That makes sense. That’s not too far from where I live. I might head over that way this week and see what wonders await in Morrisville. Thanks

It's pretty much AutoZone, Sheetz, some houses and I think giant eagle might technically fall in there. Same zip as Waynesburg, just happens to pop up sometimes if you use Google maps. This was like 2012 so he was probably using MapQuest or yahoo or something.
