<VV> Greenbrier

[LonzoVair at aol.com]

Hey guys,
The hotel/resort says it's been around since 1778... and of course a  
"greenbrier" is a thorn-bearing bush that grows wild in Appalachia (VA, WV, NC,  
TN, KY and probably other states as well). I believe the plant came first, 
then  the hotel, then the road, and in 1960 our beloved FCs...
;-)
Later,
Lonzo..... 2 Greenbriers... and lots of others briers here on the river  
bank.

Smitty  Says;  Where development has been so very fast it is hard to trace 
the  origin of names.  If I am not mistaken it all started with a two lane  
road called Greenbrier which had an interchange onto I-64.  The mall was  
built there which led to the widening of Greenbrier road into Greenbrier  
parkway.  Yes we did have a VairFair there because of the name. and yes  there 
is now a Greenbrier golf  course.
