Green Dash Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Blue Ball Pa. is a town where rt.'s 23 and 322 intersect in Lancaster county. Blue Ball hotel dated back to 1706. Building took several hits over the years. It was torn down 10-15 years ago. The town took it's name from the hotel. No, I don't know how the hotel got it's name.That's interesting. I was thinking this happened in Blue Bell, PA. I didn't know there was also a Blue Ball, PA Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/23828-check-this-out/page/2/#findComment-107601 Share on other sites More sharing options...
