== Fun facts ==
* Tallassee is best known for being the main setting of Bryce Wallace's first anime series, Eeveelution House, which aired between 1996 and 2001, which basically both kicked off the career of one of the best independent (until 2006) anime creators in history, and started the whole craze with Eeveelutions that's still running rampant on the internet and art sites today. Before the series, they were a common and popular pet, and were among the more often drawn Pokemon, but they weren't really an icon until Bryce came along.
* Tallassee is the birthplace of singer-songwriter Charles Davis Tillman, who helped form the Southern gospel theme.
* Tallassee has a bit of amenities to offer. It has a Walmart, Nintendo World, a bit of fast food, a National Guard station, a few auto parts places and car dealerships, a bit of local restaurants and businesses, Reeves Airport, a bit of public battle fields, an old contest hall that is used for miscellaneous purposes today, a sports complex, dollar stores, and a few other things.
