What's in a STREET name?

[silver]

I've been to Guin, but not to Gu-Win. Or is it the other way 'round?

I so want to hear that story.

I think that Mr. was quoting from Forest Gump.....Not sure how that related to Guin or Gu-Win or Winfield, but I do have a story to tell or tale

But, BTW, it's hard to believe that you went to Guin but not Gu-win, since they are so close together and if you are driving from Memphis to Birmingham, they are all three on the way. Anyhooo....

When Silverson was born, we lived in Memphis and all the grandparents lived in Birmingham. My father, Henry, was still working, so the in-laws, Bill and Pat, and my mother, Mary, all drove to Memphis to see the Grandson. Bill and Pat stayed a couple of days and left my Mary to stay to help me out. a couple of weeks later, Henry drove to Memphis to see Silver son and to retrieve his wife, Mary. Just happens, that on his way, just outside of Guin, or Gu-Win, or Winfield (they just sort of merge together) he hits a traffic jam. Ends up, leaving his car in the road and goes into a local eatery, has time for lunch. Asks around why the total traffic jam?

Seems it's the annual Mule Day Parade and the entire road is shut down.
