We live in Franklin, TN named after Benjamin Franklin. It was going to be called Marthasville, named for the town founder’s wife Martha, but that changed at the last minute. What you’ll hear in this episode is that there are some WEIRD names out there for towns all across the South.     Places to Connect: Sign up for mailing list HERE  Instagram @SteelMagnoliasPodcast Private Facebook Group https://bit.ly/32Kna4T       Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/steel-magnolias-podcast/donations
