TT#14: Christmas Trivia
Ok you got me on this one because I couldn't say any of those towns. Very cute!!!
Fun list. At least I know, now, to pronounce it Add-Lanna, LOL!
Very nice. You make me what to visit Georgia. :)
I get it! Georgia's kinda like Texas. 'Cept we don't have weird names for out towns. We borrow refined names like Paris and Italy (pronounced it-lee).
Merry Christmas from She Lives!
I'm from Adlanna! And you know you're from Atlanta if you know the difference between Peachtree Rd., Peachtree Parkway and Peachtree St.
That was a great list....
Fun list. I have driven through Georgia several times, but I have never actually stopped to look around in it. I guess I should.
Stopping by to wish you and yours a Merry Christmas, EHT.
p.s.) I laughed the first time I noticed that all of the larger retail and grocery stores were referring to buggies as shopping carts. When I was growing up they were only called buggies - and still are.
I'm now rethinking all of my belt buckles...
i can tell you all of those names, and it is pronounced addlanna. :D I love it here, athens is the best.
