(What about the "geographical location" itself? ) edit
Why in disambiguation, of all places, is there no listing for the geographical location "Muscle Shoals" from which all the other entries evidently originated??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Toolted (talk • contribs) 15:22, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
- A shoal is "A shallow in a body of water", but IMO more often and in this case "A sandbank or sandbar creating a shallow." (IMO a "geographical location" is what a GPS reading embodies, but i trust the colleague is interested in the shore feature that may or not have inspired the name, a shoal where mussels were once found). The Tennessee is not the Mississippi nor the Missouri, but one reason that the Tennessee Valley Authority was a major political and economic event is that rivers that size are dynamic. Pending contrary evidence, my opinion is that river-pilot Samuel Clemens' musings on the Mississippi, about the seemingly steady shortening of the distance between Cairo and the Big Easy should remind us that river valleys are not "cast in concrete". Perhaps the colleague's concern should be, uh, channeled twd having the article on the town include a passage that links to River valley #Dynamics.
