Gwinnett: Gwinnett is Great.

Dunwoody: We're Better Than You

Sandy Springs: We're Better Than Dunwoody

Roswell: No Aliens Here (Except the Illegal Ones)

Norcross: Having an Identity Crisis

Chamblee: No Hablamos Ingles 우리는 영어 안합니다

Alpharetta: So New We've Still Got the Tags

I think it could be fun to have contests to come up with slogans for everybody.

OOH, I've got one:

Welcum too Clatyon Countie

Gainesville: We have water!, well only what is in here!

When I saw those towers I broke out in a cold sweat because I realized that I spelled Gwinnett as "Gwinnette" thoughout the entire paper.

Why that didn't dawn on me as I was doing weeks and weeks of research, I have no idea, but as soon as I saw that tower, my mistake hit me over the head like a hammer.

Tear them down!

HAHA, that is hilarious! I like the part about the typewriter, man Ive never been good on those things, thank goodness I didnt really grow up in that era, they are a pain in the hiney!

Speaking of funny water towers, does anyone ever notice the Semens tower in Forsyth County? When I was younger and we would go up to the lake I always remember seeing that tower and my friends and I would laugh and think how weird that tower was lol.

In high school, I had a math teacher who said the towers should say "Gwinnett is Gweat."
