Talk:LaFayette, Georgia

This page could really use some history. Two points I know about:


 * Civil war: certainly involved in the battle of Chickamauga, others?
 * Changing demographics and landmarks in the modern era (is the county seat, but people have been moving out to larger cities and the downtown is losing small shops in favor of law offices and the like).

Pronunciation Addition
Greetings all! While doing some recent changes patrolling the other day, I found someone had added a couple of notes about the pronunciation of LaFayette to this article. The way they had added the information wasn't the best way to do it, so I reverted the changes, but then did some quick research and added a pronunciation to the beginning of the article based on their addition. Being from Michigan myself, I'm well aware of the idea of unusual pronunciations of city names only known to locals (never mind Ypsilanti and Mackinac Island, I dare you to say Topinabee correctly :-) ), so I'm hoping someone with more expertise on this specific case can weigh in and see if I did it correctly or, if not, take a shot at fixing it). Thanks! Space-Age Meat 01:56, 25 May 2017 (UTC)


 * The format is correct, but there are actually two pronunciations of LaFayette in the South. The one you added is the general Southern pronunciation. However, what the notes were trying to convey was that there is a two-syllable pronunciation used locally in the LaFayette area that sounds like "la-FETT". I don't have a source for either of those, so it's just original research until it can be sourced. - BilCat (talk) 03:53, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
