Public announcement: Hence fourth the City of Crossville will no longer be called “Crossville” as the word “Cross” may be deemed offensive to those who do not like crosses, for church related reasons, as well as unknown childhood trauma relating to the following:
River crossing
Double crossing
Railroad crossing
Excessive playing of Jump by Kris “Kross”
Any event in Crossville
*list is neither all encompassing or complete and merely potential examples, offensive use of cross is not limited to the above examples*
We appreciate your cooperation in this matter and are open to new town names, public hearing for this change TBD.
Current alternatives being considered:
Safespaceville
Everyoneville
Tennesseeville
Genderneutralville
Welcomeville
And last but not least, the current town name leader:
Not-California-ville
Thank you!
