Let's see. Athens is one of the oldest cities in Alabama. It was founded in 1818. It actually became a city before the state. Alabama became a state. People started moving there in the early 1800s, basically for the soil. It's cotton farms. There are cotton farms everywhere. And if you know anything about farming, you do have to rotate your crops. And so they generally go from cotton to corn to some type of bean, maybe a soybean. Anyway, there is a ton of cotton down there. A lot of people got rich on cotton. Today, our people are getting rich off of cotton. Located in Shelton, Washington. You know, the city itself is not really that big. Again, Limestone County is one of the largest counties in the state. And man, we used to drive that county. West Limestone, East Limestone, the north part was what we called Elkmont, and the south part we called Tanner. That was north, south, east, and west. That's where all the country boys lived. And we'll let it drop one more time.
