Jan. 25th, 2025 08:35 pmI happily add this to my pinterest saves as a kind of reblog: the film "Two Weeks To Live" derived from the Lum 'n Abner old timey radio show. It's a rural comedy about the folks in Pine Ridge, Arkansas, especially the customers of the Jot 'Em Down Store. There's a gen-u-wine museum devoted to them in the town and its residents voted in 1936 to rename their town Pine Ridge from the original Waters, Arkansas.
Can a greater expression of fandom exist? Do we expect citizens of New York City to rename it "Spidermantown"? We do not.
Another example of fandom furor arose in 1941, when Gene Autry, Oklahoma came into being, renamed from Berwyn, Oklahoma. Another inspiring example of true fandom. :) Anecdote: on a cross country driving trip, I demanded a visit to Gene Autry, Oklahoma. It was as fun as it sounds.
