Hey, I lived in Georgetown for about 5 years and the Georgetonians always joked about the Charlestonians being wrong about the Atlanta being formed by the Ashley and Cooper. That's why it was so funny to me. Georgetown says ones thing. Charleston another. Cindy Cindy Parker http://www.crosswinds.net/~alicedrivemiddle parkerc@adm.sumter17.k12.sc.us >>> "W. A. "mayorbubba" McElveen" <mayorbubba@sumter.net> 03/01/00 08:22AM >>> Cindy ----whoever is telling this joke about the Atlantic Ocean being formed at Georgtown is wrong....everyone knows that the Atlantic Ocean is formed at Charleston from the Ashley and Cooper Rivers....some even think that these were originally the Tigress and Euphraties Rivers with the Garden of Eden in between......(spelling is wrong).....and the people that live in Charleston think they live in the Garden today....... thanks for all you do for others.....
