PLEASE! That's the second time I've heard someone mack on the name and in defense of some spot-on-the-wall yank town?!?! SAY WHA!!! >:O I actually liked the town. It's nice and small, staying away from that blasted city-type crap with loads of traffic, crime, and too many goddamn people. They say the city was actually built around the Cannon Mills Company because they had a big factory there. Maybe the name is linked to that... Cannon, Kanna; could be, kinda a stretch though maybe if you link it with a thick southern drawl, I could buy it. DID YOU KNOW: that the word polis means city-state in Ancient Greek. Well you do now, that's why a lot of city names end in polis, isn't that neat-o? I thought so too.
