They Just Couldn’t Pronounce Pfafftown

Wal-Mart has decided not to build a supercenter on the corner of Reynolda Road and Shattalon Road here in the western part of Winston-Salem. 

I think it’s a good call for many reasons, not the least of which is that it would have made getting to my daughter’s soccer field an absolute nightmare on Saturdays.  I know that’s a very selfish reason, but that’s me.

Could it have also been that the suercenter would have been right down the street from Pfafftown, if not in Pfafftown itself, and the execs in Arkansas just couldn’t figure out how to pronounce it? Prize goes to the reader that can spell Pfafftown phonetically.
