In response to a CTU forum about our "home town" earlier this year.
Hey Folks,
I live in a little known place called Spook Hollow. You won't find it on any map but it is pretty easy to find if you're close. Not much to do here but listen to the coyotes bugs and whipporwills at night. If your olfactory sense is working then you will smell sometimes overwhelming sweet flora and natural aromas that are slowly becoming rare. There is a fairly busy train track coming off the ridge on the other side of the hollow. Trains chug up and down the ridge while crossing one lane trestles, wooden bridges, and a large tunnel through the next hill. We have several waterfalls and cascades around here as the creeks fall off the ridge. This area used to be a well kept secret but the refugees from cities and far away chaos are moving in and paying crazy money for land. Farmers now make more selling land than they ever did farming. The buyers aren't farmers at all. Anyways, it is still gorgeous and is still a great place to live. As far as things to do outside of enjoying the immediately surrounding nature, I live close to some of the greatest entertainment available across the board. Just a short drive south to the worlds first space camp, Marshall Spaceflight (home of the Hubble, Unmanned flight, and the ARES program), first wave pool, the National Speleological Society, and numerous mountains, river trips, and lakes. To the north I am close to Jack Daniel (worked there), and George Dickel Distilleries, Nashville with endless entertainment, and scads of museums and historical landmarks. To the east is the Chattanooga Choo Choo, the Smokey Mountains, and several days worth of staycation type things to do. To the west is Memphis, Graceland, The Shoals, and just tons more of the rivers, lakes and natural wonders. It always kills me when some young person says that there just isn't anything to do. I can't help but ask them where their head is. Want to know more? Y'all come see us.
