It's an old CB radio name for the town. We lived in Spartanburg then. It was called "Sparkle City" in CB talk. BR was "Mamma Cocoa" in those days (Cocoa was my poodle's name).

For which town? Hotlanta?

"It" meaning "Spartanburg." If my memory serves me correctly (which often it doesn't), Atlanta was called "The Big A." Is that right - does anyone remember?

Having grown up an hour south of Montgomery, Monkeytown meant something very politcally INcorrect and very offensive. No one in my family acknowledged that but lots of racists would use that reference to Montgomery. I still shudder when I hear it being used! I'm really hoping that has changed now!! (And it may very well be a CB term!!)

Oh, really. I had no clue. Sorta like some people saying that MARTA is an acronym for "Moving Africans Rapidly Through Atlanta" which is very un-PC?

I've learned a lot on this board.
