always wondered why that town was named that! :)

in Amabala, there are two towns ... Guin and Winfield. grumpy
expatriot dwellers of each town decided to move halfway in between and
start their own town!! and their choice of name was ....
Gu-Win. :)

and moving closer to the center of the state, there's Remlap.
why? cause the founder, a Mr. Palmer, didn't want to name it after
himself. exactly. sorta. kinda. so he reversed the letters. ;)

i won't even go into the history of Smuteye, AL. :)
