I've got two weather balloons in my pants that you all are more than welcome to use if necessary.
 
VIF, from one of your posts the other day, there were two acceptable pronunciations of Maryville when I was growing up. Murville or Marysville. Marysville was pronounced with a long a sound. Another odd/interesting thing, old highway 33 that runs between Knoxville and Maryville had two different names and I didn't realize it until I was an adult. Going from Knox to Maryville, it is Old Maryville Pike. Going from Maryville to Knox, it was Old Knoxville Highway. The name transitions around Stock Creek.
