Hi Jenny, I lived there all my life too until about 5 years ago. There was a city or county run home for wayward teens at Gate City. I can just see the entrance and I could probably get there given enough time. It was something else before it was the home for teens, but I can't remember exactly what. Here's a map from the GNIS database showing it on a map. http://mapping.usgs.gov:8888/gnis/owa/MapServer?f_name=Gate+City&f_state=AL&f_latlong=333252N0864336W&f_type=ppl&server=TIGER Alice Wrenest25@aol.com wrote: > Hi > I am from Bham and lived there most of my life and I was racking my brain > trying to think of something that could have been Tate City,I think the > person that said that it might be a typo was correct. > > Jenny
