I spent last weekend near Apalachicola . Shopped the country crafts stores downtown. Ate supper at the Blue Parrot restaurant on St.George island. I like how the town doesn’t wake up until just before lunch. Some open early but not common.

That is one of the great things about Apalachicola. We love the Blue Parrott, too! It is classic Florida!

Do people in your neck of the woods pronounce it, "the Shipola River"? On the southern end of the river, we pronounce it with the same "ch" as in "chips". My Boy Scout troop canoed down it from Marianna to Scotts Ferry. I was one of two scouts who had to miss it due to chickenpox, but when we were better, my dad and one of his coworkers let us have the same experience. This was in the early 1980s, and I remember we drank the untreated river water. None of us got sick from that, but don't try it now!

We do use more of a "Shhh" pronunciation, which is the same way it is pronounced in Louisiana. I've heard the harder "Ch" sound on parts of the river as well. The name means "place where the water sinks" (more or less) in the ancient Chacato language. Claims that it comes from the Choctaw word for "Sweetwater" are incorrect. I definitely wouldn't drink from it without some filtration or purification tabs today! Lol.

@@TwoEggTV Until you mentioned it, I did not know there was a Chipola, LA.

@@christosvoskresye Interesting, isn't it? The last remnants of the Chacato people moved from the Dog River area on the southern edge of Mobile out to Louisiana and took some of their names with them. Accordingly, Chipola popped up on the Louisiana map. That's actually how I found out the true meaning of the word. I traced down the handful of descendants still living in Louisiana and learned from them. It is difficult to translate into English, so it is an approximation.

@@TwoEggTV Like I mentioned before, there's a Eufala, OK. It's easy to guess the sad history behind that. One day I'll have to look up the history behind the many Miami's.

@@TwoEggTV By the way, the natural bridge phenomenon tying into the name makes sense. And yet ... sweetwater fits, too. I say that as someone who has tasted the raw river. Maybe the name did not ORIGINATE as meaning sweetwater, but the punning logic reinforced the name.
