Where I live; Facts, Places, History

[IrishEyes]

Connecting places with people we have come to know and care about can make those
places more interesting as well as teach others about areas we may never see.
Share here some photos, historical facts, places of interest with a brief explanation.

So we don't overwhelm with too much reading;
post ONE photo with fact/info on a given day.

We have people from all over the world so this can be very interesting, sort of like
a world tour from our favorite chair at home.
Please join us, share the beauty, history, and pride of your space you call home.
Example:

Indianapolis 500 - Bing Supposedly...if all of the Indy 500 hot dogs and bratwurst sold on race day were placed end-to-end, they would circle the oval more than three times and it's a 2 1/5 mile track!

I live in S Georgia…. *lots* of pine trees,lol



We grow many crops… cotton, onions and sunflowers to name a few



It’s a small town with a water tower, lots of farmers… not unusual to get stuck behind a piece of farm machinery on the road

If you think "I'd love to add to this thread but dang, I live in a very boring place"
Simply do a search "fun facts about "Town, State, Provence, Country" whichever and you will
find some very interesting facts you may not even know. Also try a search for Trivia facts on a place,
that works too.
