There is a Paris, Ontario, Canada too.
The first long distance telephone call was made on August 10, 1876 by
Alexander Graham Bell from his family homestead in Brantford, Ontario to his
assistant located on Grand River Street North in Paris, Ontario.
Paris is referred to not only as "the cobblestone capital of Canada" (in
reference to a number of aged cobblestone houses) but also as "the prettiest
town in Canada".
I haven't been there and I think it has now been incorporated into a larger
nearby town, as is happening to many of the small towns in Ontario these
days.
Malvary in Ottawa (which has now gobbled up many small towns in the area).

The reason I know this is that the other half of my life is involved with
vintage and antique (yes, over 100 years old) circular sock knitting
machines.
At the moment we are organising the first UK convention for people who
have or
are interested in these machines, to be held in Bournemouth in November,
but
there has been an annual convention in the States for several years and
also
lots of local 'meets'.
can't believe the things we read on arachne !!!! i'd never heard of
Argyle
socks before (which might not be very surprising since my University
studies
didn't include knitting ... lol ... ) and never imagined so many people
would take an interest in circular sock knitting machines of all things
...
it's true i'm not mechanical minded in the least ..
i love that list !!!!
dominique from Paris, france ( and thanks to the list i know there's
Paris
in Tennessee too ....)
