I thought we started over at"A"

 

Or, are we going to go backwards this time?

We forgot the letter Y, so I thought I would put it in, then we can start with letter A.

No big deal that you made a mistake  with the letter Z after X.

Cairo, Ga, US

 

Cairo is a city in Grady County, Georgia, United States with a population of 9,607 and is the county seat of Grady County.

 

Cairo was founded in 1835. It was incorporated as a town in 1870 and as a city in 1906. The city was named after Cairo, the capital of Egypt.

 

Even though the city was named after the Capital of Egypt, it is not pronounced the same. While the city in Egypt is pronounced a "K-eye-row/Ki-row" the one in Georgia is pronounced "Kay-Row".

 

Although Cairo is nicknamed the "Syrup City", it has no relationship with the Karo brand of corn syrup, which is pronounced like the city's name. Rather, Cairo earned its nickname by producing cane syrup from the early 1900s through the late 1990s. Of the several companies that produced cane syrup, Roddenbery's was the best known. Roddenbery's later became better known for its pickles and the world's largest outdoor brine yard. However, the company was sold to Dean Foods in 1993 and the local factory shut down.

 

The Cairo High School football team is nicknamed the Syrupmakers, and the school mascot is the agriculturally based sugarcane farmer/syrupmaker similar to the Cornhusker and Boilermaker.

 

There is one Kingdom Hall in Cairo that is home to 2 English Congregations. 

 

My Sister-in-law's parents used to be in this Congregation.
