Now
you Know...Mr. Jim Brown had several jobs as a young man... a
truck driver, farrmer and then he helped pave highway 21 which was
one of the first roads paved between Columbia and Blythewood.
It was done in the year 1921 and therefore earned its name,
Highway 21.
This is
also why I love my job. This is the best answer in the
history of the world /or maybe just the newsletter and actually
(partly) correct! What a creative employee we have at the
Blythewood library!
Lori
may need a raise or be adviced to write a best seller of bizarre
answers for any and all occassions.
Lori
gets the prize for this great answer:
Because
it was started in 1921? Because it was 21 miles from the
starting point to Columbia? All the crew members had birthdays on
the 21st? Jim Brown was the foreman and he had 21 kids?
They paved it with 21 ingredients in the tar? Highways 20 and
22 were already taken? They ate nothing but grits for 21 days
while working on the project? There were 21 mule farms along
the route?
Obviously,
I have no idea but would love to know the answer!
I can
only imagine what her answer will be for the next question!
Do You Know... Mr.Jim Brown had another job around 1918 which
involved Dr. Michael Langford, Blythewood's local physician and
"the Brush". What was "the Brush" and
what did Mr. Jim do for Dr. Langford ?
