Talk:Jonesborough, Tennessee

message: How come it was never renamed "Jonesboro" by the Board of Geographic Names? 81.153.111.87 13:44, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It was. It was officially known as "Jonesboro" for a very long time, in fact, but the people there never liked it, and changed the spelling back to the original one in 1982. I remember when it happened. The town even made bumper stickers that said "Put the 'ugh' back in Jonesboro". Jsc1973 06:32, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

message: If anyone has a "skyline" photograph of Jonesborough, feel free to place it as the lede image, and move the courthouse to the gallery. I'm sure there are good angles from the surrounding hills, but I didn't have time to look for one.  A photograph of a fancy "Welcome to Jonesborough" sign or similar entrance sign would also work.

message: All the external links to news stories about the Veteran's Park bricks ought to be converted to references in the new section, or removed from the article.  I'd make the attempt, but I'd personally be inclined to just delete the whole brick mess as not being notable enough -- Foetusized (talk) 14:10, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Good idea.  I've removed the whole section.  Bms4880 (talk) 22:01, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Added a brief mention of Jonesborough Repertory Theater as an example to my students. I teach composition at ETSU and I have assigned my classes to edit a Wikipedia entry to which they can add something useful. This seemed a safe, inoffensive example.

message: This article says it was the oldest town in TN, but the article for Rogersville, Tennessee says that town was founded in 1775, four years older than Jonesborough. Why's that? --AW (talk) 15:24, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The Rogersville article does not say it was founded in 1775, it says the first settlers arrived in 1775.  The land that is now downtown Rogersville belonged to those first settlers, the Crocketts, until they sold it to Col. Thomas Amis around 1780.  Rogersville was founded in 1789 according to the article for Joseph Rogers, Col. Amis' son-in-law -- Foetusized (talk) 17:21, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
