      Just a thought for a weekend trip.. Senoia Georgia has been the filming location for lots of things over the years, most recently The Walking Dead. That would make a nice little weekend trip for you guys. In addition to that, Driving Ms Daisy, Fried Green Tomatoes and some others have been filmed there. Its about 30 minutes from Atlanta. Just a thought..

      I am kin to all of the jones families from northeast tennessee. My mom's dad Joseph Lester Jones was born in 1916 and grew up between jonesborough and fall branch. He kept the cemetery burial plot books for the fairview cemetery located beside the fairview methodist church. So grandpa knew a whole lot of families from washington County area around jonesborough and johnson city,tn.

    What a nice video! I live in Jonesborough and all the buildings are authentic and original from 1700 to 1800s, except the Storytelling building, which was built in 2002, I believe. It was designed to look like the other buildings and look authentic. There was a huge debate at the time because people didn't want a modern looking building to change the look of the town.

    I know a guy that would fit into that town like a Glove on your hand, you're talking about story telling, He has retired out of every branch of the Military, He invented the Helicopter, He was the first person to fly a jet airplane, He plants his potatoes on a hill one end at the foot of the hill the other end at the top of the hill where all he has to do is dig a hole at the foot of the Hill and all of the potatoes roll out. But sadly his stories doesn't hold any truth whatsoever, LOL Everyone usually tried to guess what fibs would be his next, he always surprised us and his stories were interesting.

    Right beside the courthouse and that little old time fire hall was the coolest western auto hardware store. When I was a very young boy in the 1960's and 1970's. My grandpa lester jones use to trade with them buying things for his vehicles and old 1940's Ford tractor. Man I miss the days of small town living. Now a days big corporate stores have destroyed small town hardware stores.
