Our story of Tyneshia
Say Tyneshia aloud and Tunisia is almost there, the North African country named for its capital, Tunis. On the city's edge lie the ruins of Carthage, once Rome's great rival, now a quiet suburb where people live among the stones of Hannibal's city. Tyneshia owes nothing to any of it. It is an American name built for its sound, and the echo of an ancient coast is a gift of the sound alone.
