Then with the little thing we call the far flung forecasts are weekly compendium of fascinating facts and figures each week. With the precision of a NASA rocket presented to us by our host and moderator, Dave Gus Grissom. For Oh, wow! Oh, 9 25 as we continue to watch a unity 22 As it is set to blast off into space. We're going to go back in time, however, and go to a little town called Dayton, Tennessee population of 7191. As of the 2010 census dropped down about 3000 people from graph from, uh this previous show you like I give such precise censuses. I was waiting for you to try him in and I didn't hear anything from you. Captivated by her every single one. And and did, you know? Did you know that Dayton, Ohio was settled around 18 20 as a town called Smith's Crossroads? I did not know probably because it was named for a man named Miss Smith.
