It Really is Shoal Creek
I've received several requests to do columns on local attractions, including those indigenous to the area. Certainly our beautiful Shoal Creek is one of them. Rippling northward to Lawrenceburg, the body of water seems too large to be designated a simple creek. Most of us cross Shoal Creek with enough regularity that it deserves both our awe and respect.
Recently, TimesDaily journalist Trevor Stokes, an admitted immigrant from the north, did an article on a home located on Shoal Creek, referring to our beloved body of water as "Shoals." Yet we can't foist all blame on those blasted carpetbaggers, as recently as the fall election, our now Lauderdale County Commissioner Rhea Tays Fulmer, who claims to be a native, referred to this body of water in the same haphazard manner (We don't need no education, apparently to be elected in Northwest Alabama).
If there should be some non-natives reading this article, rest assured the wide expanse of water separating Florence from Killen is indeed named Shoal Creek. Now, if we could just get people to pronounce Gunwaleford Road properly...
What's up with this: Rumors are flying about the involvement of a Barnett Plumbing Truck in a weekend high speed chase that spanned two counties. For those who don't know, the owner of this company is the father of Keith Barnett, another victim in our local unsolved murder files.

There you go again Shoalonda! In your last comments you say
ReplyDelete"RUMORS ARE". Do you not understand? Do you have facts? Again, by spewing "RUMORS" you leave the impression of someone has done something wrong (WITHOUT GETTING THE FACTS). It will not be hard. I will find out who you are one way or another. So pray there are no ghosts in your closet.
Anderon, if you could read, you would know this was reported by several in the TD forum.
ReplyDeleteI doubt that Shoalanda is afraid of you. She probably thinks you are good publicity. I'm not nearly as nice as she is, buy my wife won't let me say what I want to.
Have you ever asked any member of the Lexington Lions' Club just what they think of Mayor Bobby? Have you ever heard him in public talking about people he doesn't even know, then gladhand the same people when he meets them?
Of course, you could be Bobby. You do sound a lot like him, trying to get revenge when you don't even know what's going on.
Bottom line is I know more lawyers than you, so I don't expect to see you back here anymore.
And just in case anyone has missed it, here's the link in the TD forum so they can read what everyone else thinks of Keith McGuire:

Fox........
ReplyDeleteyou need to take your meds. You are talking out of your head. Lawyers.....I know a bunch. Just like "bloggers".......too many of them.
No, I am far from "Bobby" but you would be very suprised as to who I am. So again.......what about it Shoalonda? Who are you? Who is your family? Where do you live and what organizations do your belong? Huh? You still are not answering my questions.......but then again........you are hiding behind your "blog name" while graciously throwing out folks names in Lexington, where they work, who they are, etc., etc.
You are pitiful
Gee Anderon, I don't see your name and address listed above your post either. What's good for the goose, you know.
ReplyDeleteWell Goose......I'm not the one raping a family's name through the internet hemisphere like Shoalonda. My point again and again and again is (no one seems to comment on this)...let the family have some peace. Keith McGuire is guilty or not quilty. One of the two. PERIOD! Stop re-hashing this over and over and causing undue hurt to his family!!!
ReplyDeleteAgain.......SHOALONDA. Who are you? Where do you live? What town? Address?
