• 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 -

Walter Hill, Tennessee, is a historically significant, unincorporated community north of Murfreesboro on US 231, founded around 1790-1800. Initially known as Black’s Crossroads and Abbott’s Mill, it became a key agricultural hub, featuring the county’s first mills, school, and a historic 1804 dam site. The current name is from a local postmaster and storekeeper named Walter Hill, who operated in the area around 1895. He used his name on the postmark for the local post office, which became the identifier for the community. ​

A Bit Of History -

Yorkville is located about fifteen miles northwest of Trenton and is in the Eighth Civil District of Gibson County. According to stories handed down Yorkville was first called Belt Buckle. No reason was known for this name. The village was first known as a "watering trough" where travelers could stop and water their stock. The watering trough was a huge container made of cypress and located near the main highway.
John C. Kuykendall, from Yorkville, South Carolina first settled there in 1830. Mr. Kuykendall built a home there and also a store and the town began flourishing. William Holmes located two miles south and others who followed were Reeds: Samuel, James, William, Robert and Hugh, Benjamin Tyson, Benjamin S. White and John W. Needham. By 1850 it was incorporated with W.H. Miller serving as the first mayor. Yorkville's greatest time of prosperity was probably between 1853 and up to the beginning of the Civil War.​
