Sing Real Soft...

Jaimee Harris - Lucky


So we had our 3,500th visitor. That honor goes to our favorite reader out of Ashland City, Tennessee. For those of you that don't know much about Ashland City (which included myself, prior to a very insightful Wikipedia sesh), get ready to be informed of some of the city's highlights:

A major landmark is Sydney's Bluff, which was supposedly named for a girl who was fleeing a group of Native Americans and fell off of said bluff. That's right. She decided that it was better so simply fall to her death than be captured. That's the most badass landmark naming story ever.

For every 100 females 18 or older, there's a mere 93.6 males. Yup. That's a ratio I can work with.

Last but not least, and this info comes from the city's official website, the city has five official boards. Naturally, there are boring ones (Budget Committee, Ashland City Regional Planning and Zoning Commission, etc.). But there's also the Ashland City Beer Board, which deals with, well, alcohol, and that makes me smile. This is a board I can get behind. And not just because it's sole responsibility is hooch. But more because the site states that "meetings are held when necessary." No more bi-monthly wastes of time. Only meet when necessary. I like that.


Oh, and this kind of makes me giggle, our 3,5001st reader came out of Grand Rapids. Missed by one spot again.
