I couldn't believe it when I read it. Gallipolis has made it on the map. On the Huffingtonpost.com that is...
This was my favorite part of the article: "For one thing, they pronounce the name of their town "Ga-lip-Police." (The locals, of course, are allowed to mispronounce it "gallipolie" or "gallipol-es"... you would be well-advised to say "gallop-police.")
The next town is called Rio Grande, and it's pronounced "R-eye-oh Grand." As the Mayor of Rio Grande told me "We have our own language in these parts.""
I found this hilarious. In dese parts we suuur do hav'r own langig. Oh lordy.

Interesting....he didn't ask my opinion on anything!! Just goes to show, you never know who is around the corner.
Did he talk to anyone you guys know??
No, I had no idea anyone was in town asking opinions and such. And.....as you know I am pretty opinionated. Most of my friends are as well!!
You must have been sending off the I heart Hilary vibes (not!) so he didn't want to talk to you. :)
It sounded like they were looking for people who would have voted for Clinton but now might vote for Palin... wait who is running for President. Palin or Mcain? :)
My question exactly!!
WOW, G-town in the big news!
How is Wilson doing? I hear he and Reid will be in the Olympics the same year. Wilson, swimming and Reid gymnastics!!! Can't wait to sit along side you to cheet them on.
