• A to Z Rules
      Start with a City beginning with A
    1. This is BY STATE
    2. Similar to the Tag contest, there will be one thread per state
    3. Post a picture of your bike AND some sign, building etc which clearly shows the city/state you're in
    4. The next person posts from a city with the name beginning with B, then C, D, etc
    5. You can't posts back-to-back pics, you have to wait for a person to post the next city
    6. Once Z is reached, the game starts over with A
    7. If your state doesn't have a city beginning with the next letter in sequence, it's okay to skip that letter
    8. If the location sits for more than one month, the person that posted that is open to move it to the next letter.Previously Rule 8
    9. For some States there are tough letters to find such as Q, W, X, Y, Z - in those cases it is acceptable to find anything with those letters in the name to keep the game moving.

    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.

I could not add any text to the post above!??
The only thing I could do was post photographs. Those pics show my bike and one of my riding companion’s bikes (1) in downtown Kingston, Georgia right next to the railroad tracks, in the old part of downtown that dates to the late 19th century.

(Fn 1.) The third person in our riding group had his bike parked around the corner out of sight.

ABOUT KINGSTON:
Incorporated in 1869, Kingston, Georgia, is a historic Bartow County town that grew as a vital 19th-century railway hub,
named after railroad financier
John Pendleton King.

Known for its immense Civil War significance, it served as a major hospital center, a key stop in the 1862 Great Locomotive Chase, and the site of the last Confederate surrender east of the Mississippi in 1865.
 
M = Marble Hill, GA.
Post Office pic is the official sign,
but I also took a picture of the actual “hill” in question where they mine marble. That hill is practically hollow; it’s got dozens of miles worth of mining tunnels all in it and through it!

That industrial facility in front of the hill is part of the marble processing plant.

Oscarville, a historic community in Forsyth County Georgia. Was the scene of racial violence in the early 1900s. Was largely abandoned after 1912 and buried under Lake Lanier in the mid 1950s when two rivers were dammed to flood that valley where the town was.
