A little off topic but I recently read that Stephen Foster originally used the name Pee Dee River instead of Suwanee.

He decided Suwanee had a better sound to it.

Also off topic, how did the place come to be called Pee Dee?. The name is familiar to me only because there is a small town in Oregon called Pee Dee. It's a tiny place near Dallas and Rickreall. I worked in Rickreall for a number of years and the locals were always making jokes about the breeding (or more to the point, inbreeding) of the inhabitants of Pee Dee. Don't have any knowledge of it myself, never having actually been to the place, but the joke was there.

Looks like the name in SC refers more often to the region than the town. Read a bit more on the web but it's stuff I suppose y'all already know.

Anyway, have a good lunch.
