    The drive in was breathtaking with the mountains wrapping their arms around you. Lots to see and the people were so open and friendly. What a historic place. I think i will take the end slice of bread. As a child mother would toast the end piece and cover it with butter and cinnamon and hand it down to me. You know, there’s nothing better than a good sandwich and sharing a meal with Big T. Thank you for bringing us along . I enjoyed it every step of the way . God bless and keep you all your days.

    My mom was from Mountain City! 😃 She moved to DC to work then met my dad and moved to Alexandria Va. We used to go every summer to see my grandparents and I would walk to town with a neighbor friend and stop and get some snacks and hang out. Those were the best days! 💕💕 Beautiful mountains surround this quaint town. I want to visit there again soon. And by the way, I got a whoppin’ too by my grandma with a switch, boy did it sting. 😮☺️

    Mountain City, TN! A very nice place. Oh yes, I thoroughly remember the infamous switch! Sometimes, you were shouted the opportunity to go outside and pick your own, which would be used by the powers that be on you. In my parents' house, no rod was spared, and no child was spoiled! And, my siblings and I greatly respect that important policy, which we've gladly shared with the next generation who now share same with their own kids (who are very well behaved, mannered and a true joy to be around). "Make discipline, accountability, and consequences great again!" I truly enjoyed this video! Til the next time..... GOD bless!

      When my dad told you to go get your own switch you better not come back with a wimpy one. If it wasn't good enough to suit him,he would wear it out on you then send you to get a better one.

    Another great video.
    I visited Mountain City a couple of weeks ago during my vacation in Ferguson, North Carolina. I spent around 3 hours at the combined Johnson County Welcome Center and Museum. Most of the time I was chatting with my friend, Jenny Johnson. One of the subjects we got around was the hanging og Finley Preston in 1905. He was hanged for the murder og Lillie Shaw in what provedmto be the last public execution in Tennessee.
    Great that you showed the mural depicting the arrest of Tom Dooley in Pandora. TD is one of my big interests. 💖

FWIW, I've been trying since 2008 to eat at Suba's and have yet to sit at a table, and that is with many times having reservations and them cancelling for a host of reasons. I am of the opinion it is a private club masquerading as a public dining place. Nevertheless, ya did good, enjoyed it and subscribed.

    The Steve Earle song "Copperhead Road" talks about this area and the moonshine running that occurred there. Copperhead Road actually exists, but has been renamed "Copperhead Hollow Road" because the road signs "Copperhead Road" kept getting stolen. Imagine that!
