Tennessee

is actually pretty cool. It was built for the corporate jets of the various corporations that have HQ there....MAHLE-USA, Toyoda, and what used to be Standard Colorprint but now is called something else, to name a few. It always amazed me that some foreign companies chose to HQ there. One of my grandsons took flying lessons there. And I remember when Evelyn Johnson died, not so long ago.

But on the subject of the 18th century....one of my home health co-workers many years back used to say about one little hamlet which shall remain nameless (no, it wasn't Sneedville, which is modern compared to this one), "Go up 25-E and over Clinch Mountain, turn left, and proceed to the 18th century." Great folks, but primitive living conditions.
