Newest thing in town
I am not actually certain that this playground equipment was the newest thing in town, but my quick visual inspection indicated that it might be.
Also – in case you’re planning a visit and want to fit in – the town’s pronounced “Medda.” Really. I’m not setting you up for ridicule or anything. That’s how we talk out here.

Must have been some of those early Tennessean folks that helped settle down your way that named it and speak it.

There’s some kind of linguistic link between Texas and Tennessee.

You should try pronouncing dome English place names. We used to live close to Towcester – pronounced ‘Toaster’. Not many people got that one right without a little assistance!

It’s so confusing!
There are towns around here that have names rooted in Spanish but that are pronounced as though they were English.
And then there’s this place, with its helpful pronunciation guide posted at the edge of town: https://melindagreenharvey.com/2015/02/20/pronunciation-guidance-included/
Now I sort of want to go to Towcester, just to show off how well I can pronounce it. Although with my Texas English, I bet I still won’t quite get it right…
