• 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.

A bit of history -

Sumiton began as a mining town that grew up around a railroad sometime after the Civil War. The first commercial mining venture in Sumiton was Philip and Moran's Mining Company. At various times also known as Bald Eagle, Commercial, Democrat, and Summit, Sumiton's current name, which was adopted in 1926, results from its location at one of the highest points in Walker County. The first post office opened in 1924, and the first public school in 1940. The city was incorporated in 1952.​

A bit of history -

Temperance Oak, Alabama, is a historic rural community located in western Limestone County, near Rogersville. In 1844 Temperance Oak Missionary Baptist Church was organized. The church, cemetery and the community around it was named Temperance Oak because a preacher stood on an oak stump and preached on temperance. The church purchased 5 acres on February 7, 1850 for $5.00. The deed shows that John Baker and Richard Shoemaker were "trustees for the Baptist Church at Temperance Oak". Situated near Lentzville and Pleasant Grove, the area was historically populated by small-scale, non-slaveholding farmers who often held Unionist sentiments during the Civil War era. Records indicate families, such as the Casteels, resided in the area as early as 1861. Historically, this area was comprised of small farms where residents engaged in farming, often struggling to compete with larger, slave-labor-driven plantations in North Alabama. ​
