I am not sure where to put this, as there are story discussions for the videos but not the tumblr blog posts - but in the Flood video it is mentioned and she says maybe it is a Grandma question. On the tumblr, someone asked about the name and this was the reply - escapefromedenpark.tumblr.com/post/129587745533/grandma-answers-your-questionsMore about Boneyfiddle/The Town
Grandma says that originally, the settlement on the riverbank was called Alexandria. Apparently, everyone there moved up shore a bit or died. No one knows why Boneyfiddle is called Boneyfiddle for sure. Apparently it’s some bastardization of a German phrase.So I found a link to a site that says - Numerous explanations exist, including that Boneyfiddle was an anglicized version of the German term for good times, good will, or good health. Some people have claimed that it was in reference to fields of bones from slaughtered livestock. so, it might mean Good Times? Again, sorry if this is the wrong place - where can one talk about the tumblr only story pieces?

Pretty interesting and varied definitions there. Interesting. Don't the witches sell potions, including health ones? Might make sense.

If the witches are more 'modern' day witches I'd say health potions would be along the lines of what would be in that shop. Its in line with what I understand are wiccan practices, which are nature based and generally promote white magic. But just because they are 'witches' doesn't mean they are 'wiccian' even though the two are usually linked

I may be posting the wrong place here but honestly, I wonder if the floods don't have more to do with this. Just... the floods in general that Riley spoke of, I mean.
The more we see, the further back this story seems to go. Maybe as far as a century? Riley said that's how often the river decided to overflow during the years before they built the floodwall - about once every 100 years. That's oddly specific numbering for a natural disaster.

Transcript and my notesMusic Plays Riley: Technically my town isn't a town... it's a village. My Grandma's lived here her whole life, and her family's lived here for hundreds of years. Riley: Grandma. You've lived here a thousand years, right? Grandma: A thousand and five come January. Riley: I'm going around town and showing my new friends some of the local stuff. What should I show them? Grandma: You gotta show them the floodwall. Riley: Considering that we're in a river valley, something had to be built to keep the town from floating away. There used to be a spring that fed a creek that fed a stream that fed the river. And when the rain started, everything would flood. Once a century the town gets buried by water. Riley: The area near the flood wall is called "boneyfiddle..." though come to think of it, I never found out why. Maybe that's a Grandma question.
