- Start with a City beginning with A
- This is BY STATE
- Similar to the Tag contest, there will be one thread per state
- Post a picture of your bike AND some sign, building etc which clearly shows the city/state you're in
- The next person posts from a city with the name beginning with B, then C, D, etc
- You can't posts back-to-back pics, you have to wait for a person to post the next city
- Once Z is reached, the game starts over with A
- If your state doesn't have a city beginning with the next letter in sequence, it's okay to skip that letter
- If the location sits for more than one month, the person that posted that is open to move it to the next letter.
The World Wide game is a bit different as it is by whatever is considered a geographic type of regional category, state/province/village etc. and all those will be in the single World Wide A-Z topic.
TN: A to Z (Round 5)
- Thread starter Mellow
- Start date

Moss for M
- (N)oah, Tennessee is an unincorporated community located in Coffee County, Tennessee. In 1887, it was described as being approximately 8.5 miles (13.7 km) north of the county seat of Manchester and having a population between 50 and 1001.
- Historical Background:
- Noah is believed to be the first settlement in Coffee County. It was settled on the Noah Fork of the Duck River around 1800 by the Patton Brothers (John, Daniel, and Neely).
- Between 1830 and 1840, Jonathan Webster built a corn-mill on Noah Fork.
- Minor industries in Noah during the 1880s included Samuel Brantley’s saw and grist mill and the Beckman Bros.’ flour and grist-mill.
- From the 1870s to 1902, the Farrar Distillery operated on the Thomas Farm, selling apple brandy, peach brandy, and corn whiskey. Unfortunately, it ceased operation in 1902 due to flooding.
- The first post office in Noah opened on May 2, 1836, and a second post office was established on June 23, 18801.
- Churches:
- One of the oldest churches in Noah is the Noah’s Fork Baptist Church, which was erected between 1830 and 1840. Although it was destroyed by fire in 1924, it was rebuilt shortly thereafter.
- Other churches in Noah during the 19th century included the Noah Fork Separate Baptist and Noah Methodist Episcopal South1.

Old Hickory For O -
-
Old Hickory is probably best known for being a former company town as the site of a large DuPont plant. Many of the houses were built to house DuPont employees and supervisors in the early days of the factory's existence. Many historic homes are located in the area known as the Village of Old Hickory, containing a number that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The smaller bungalow houses were built by DuPont as residences for factory workers, with the larger homes being designated for management. Many of the formerly dilapidated houses are being renovated and gentrified.

Pall Mall for P (forgot to post this from the weekend)
Pall Mall (/pæl mæl/ PAL MAL) is a small unincorporated community in the Wolf River valley of Fentress County, Tennessee, United States. It is named after Pall Mall, London.[1][2] Pall Mall is located near the Kentucky-Tennessee state-line in northeastern-central Tennessee. The population was at 1,398 people according to the 2000 census.
The World War I hero Alvin York was raised in Pall Mall. His son Andrew Jackson York (1919-2019) lived in the community.[3] York is commemorated at the Sgt. Alvin C. York State Historic Park in Pall Mall, which includes the family farmhouse and grist mill. York is buried at Wolf River Cemetery in Pall Mall.
John Marshall Clemens (1798–1847), father of Mark Twain and Orion Clemens, was postmaster of Pall Mall from 1832 to 1835; he, his wife Jane Lampton Clemens, and their children Orion, Pamela, Margaret, and Benjamin (born, perhaps here, in 1832) lived in the community at Three Forks of the Wolf River during this period (1831–1835), where they conceived Mark Twain (though the family moved to Florida, Missouri a few months before he was born).[4][5][6]
Other notable natives of Pall Mall include U.S. Representative Lincoln Davis and fugitive Billy Dean Anderson.

Since there are only 2 Qs in Tennessee (AFAIK), I'll post the one I haven't used!
Quebeck For Q -
History - (What there is of it) -
Quebeck is a very small community in White County, Tennessee, United States. It is located just off U.S. 70, southwest of Doyle and northeast of Rock Island, and roughly adjacent to Walling. Quebeck had a post office with zip code 38579. The community was founded in the late 1880s by J.S. Cooper, a local sawmill owner. He named it for the Canadian province of Quebec, having been inspired by his travels there.
