For as long as I've known, the two biggest towns in Walker Creek county - Ramsey and Walker Creek, had this insane rivalry. They all went to the same school, the same everything but for some reason, fought like children. The adults, that is. The kids did too. They fought about test results, sports accomplishments, what attractions they had in their town, and pretty much anything else you can think of for two towns to fight about. I don't know why they did and I always found it dumb. I had this friend, James, that lived in Ramsey so I don't know. Anyway, this rivalry escalated one day when some rowdy teenagers from Walker Creek decided to go egg a bunch of houses and stores in Ramsey. Set off a whole prank war between the two of them. This was around 1967 I think. Anyway, that didn't end until a brawl broke out on Main Street between two groups and the police department shut it down. They threatened to arrest anyone doing pranks or fighting or anything like that. Rivalry is still there but the chaos was over at least. Anyway, that's just another one of the random, unique things about Walker Creek.
