Have you ever wondered what the meaning of common words might be?  We recently researched the Meaning of Fence, and today, “just for fun”, we looked up the definition of the word “gate“.  Of course, most of the meanings behind the word revolve around the protective entrance structures we know and love here at Fence City.  And fortunately, there are many styles, colors, shapes and sizes of gates out there that are much more visually becoming and interesting than the word’s stuffy dictionary definition.  (Somehow we were hoping for something more exciting … #3 is about as close to exciting as it gets.) :)
