One Night Stand challenge- transportation. Not a lot of interesting options in my small town. This particular mode was parked at the restaurant we ate at after church this morning.
@digitalrn@deburahiru They were walking out as we were walking in so I think there was no emergency to rush off to and they got to finish in a leisurely fashion today.
Prattville is an interesting name, does it mean the same in US as the UK? I'm sure it is a lovely Ville (a rose...etc.) and it a great fire truck too ;)
Thanks so much, Cheryl
"Prattville is a city in Autauga and Elmore counties in the U.S. state of Alabama. As of the 2010 Census, the population of the city is 33,960.[1] Nicknamed "The Fountain City" due to the many artesian wells in the area, Prattville was founded in 1839 by industrialist and architect Daniel Pratt. The area was largely inhabited by native Americans and a few settlers when Pratt, a native of Temple, New Hampshire, first observed the Autauga Creek in the 1830s. He purchased approximately 1,000 acres (4.0 km2) from Joseph May at $21.00 an acre, and set out to build his manufacturing facilities and the town along the banks of the Autauga creek. The location was chosen because the creek could supply power to the cotton gin manufacturing equipment. The town became an industrial center and rapidly grew. In 1868, it was named the county seat for Autauga County.[2]"
