I am in Jonesboro , Tennessee. Sitting in a coffeeshop that is inside a very old building. I have a great view of a courthouse built sometime around the civil war. It is the oldest town in tennessee, actually the oldest white settlement west of the appalachian mountains.
They do make a lot of their history here.
Andrew Jackson lived here, some claim he was born here, but a couple other places claim that as well. President Andrew Johnson was born here.
Anyways, for years this place was just a little spot on the road. Somewhere someone decided to start promoting the place.
They also changed the name from jonesboro to jonesborough.
They have a bypass, 2-3 big box stores, and are 10 miles from a good sized city.
I was lucky to find a parking place a block from here.
They dont seem to be doing the recession here.
Ill try to get some stuff going on the web site here in a minute.
I have enjoyed the comments about my request for donations. Thanks again :)
