| My moment in the spotlight |
I have been to or through Tennesee many, many times. It is one of those long flat states - south of Kentucky, north of Georgia and Alabama. About 400 miles from east to west, and about 200 miles from north to south. Politically, it is stuck in the old south, at times unpleasantly backwards in it's politics.
In the far east, in the Blue Ridge of the Appalachian Mountains you will find Pigeon Forge and Dollywood. Very much redneck resort land. In the far west, Memphis - on the Mississippi River. The photos above are from a board meeting in Nashville.
Nashville fancies itself as the Athens of the South, and built a full size replica of the Parthenon in Athens, complete with a statue of Athena gilded in gold.
Tennessee is a pretty state, the politics lead me to keep my distance.
