Doh! That's an obvious typo. It must be Fell's Church or Falls Church. I'll check it and fix it.

I'm not familiar with False Church, Va.

Oh, I see. It's just a made-up name. The real answer is something else. I was worried for a moment there that I'd made an obvious error in what was supposed to be the right response.
I often include obviously wrong responses as wrong responses. We know, for example that Bismark and Pierre aren't really on the River Styx, and Pittsburgh isn't really on powerful anti-depressant drugs. Sometimes (as in this case) I include a response which looks similar to a real name (but which is still obviously wrong).
Most of these make the game a little easier to play (since you can eliminate these possibilities at first glance). I could use fewer answers in the clue (3 or 4 instead of 5), or I could make all the answers plausible, but I think the oddball answers make the game more interesting.
