Just,
According to the article that mentioned Gander Mountain.
"Doc’s Seafood, a restaurant and market, opened this weekend on Woodward Avenue in Muscle Shoals."
Google: 2105 Woodward Ave Muscle Shoals Alabama 35661
Sun CLOSED, Mon CLOSED, Tues 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Weds 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Thurs 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Fri 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Sat 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM
Do they serve mussels?
Why is the Shoals spelled Muscle?
Wasn't it named for the mussels in the shoals?
Story has it that where the name was derived. Very good question, I've ask it a few times myself, the only time I've ever seen it spelled Mussel was in a re-print of a Civil War veteran's diary.
Story is that to push boats over the shallow shoals required a lot of muscle power.
Thank you all for the info, especially interventor!
I also heard that it took a lot of muscle to (re)move all the mussels along the s**** line. Meaning is two-fold, perhaps?
Just,
You're welcome.
We don't know why the Muscle in Muscle Shoals was misspelled.
I assume it was just another ignorant person's mistaken spelling that caused it. Who knows what year it was first used.
