This was going to take a minute.

I'm not saying that this is true, mind you, Collins continued.
voice-verified
I heard it as a tall tale, and never until tonight thought it might be anything but.
voice-verified
The similarities are striking, though.
voice-verified
Listen to the story.
voice-verified
See if you don't agree.
voice-verified
A century and a half ago, Colin's tale began,
voice-verified
There was a town out in Arizona called Carmedy.
voice-verified
It was a ghost town eventually.
voice-verified
But at the beginning of this story, Carmed was still thriving.
voice-verified
The town was named after Jacob Carmedy, the man who had founded it.
voice-verified
He still lived there, which wasn't all that surprising since the town was less than twenty years old.
voice-verified
It had just been a flat piece of land when Jake had put down stakes, but it was convenient to some nearby mountains with good veins of silver, so pretty soon Jake found himself with some neighbors setting up shop next to his general store.
voice-verified
The store was called Carmedy's, so as things spread, folks just started calling the whole place Carmedy.
voice-verified
This suited Jake fine.
voice-verified
He took having a whole town named after him as just his due.
voice-verified
With the general store doing well, he ended up becoming the town's banker, too.
voice-verified
And when there got to be enough people in town that they were getting on each other's nerves, Jake declared himself the mayor and started laying out rules.
voice-verified
No one particularly objected, someone had to run things, and for the most part no one else wanted to do it.
voice-verified
So Jake got to strut around as the most important person in Carmody, and everyone else basically just got on with their lives.
