Oak Ridge Tennessee Has a Fascinating History

Cathy Glass — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 00:18:06 +0000

Here is a video that someone has put together to go with a screenplay he has written about Oak Ridge, Tennessee. I grew up there and was proud to be a citizen. My father worked at as a guard and later at Y-12. He could never talk about his work, just like almost every other man in the city. He hardly shared anything until the end of his life. One thing he did tell me was about some scientist that was there, and his job was to escort him from building to building because he was completely “absentminded.” He didn’t tell me who it was, though.

One Reason I Love Where I Live: WDVX – WDVX Blue Plate Special

WDVX – WDVX Blue Plate Special.

I just love that this station is here in Knoxville, TN and that it has this Blue Plate Special.

I heard a song on it one time that I would love to find. Can anyone help me? It was one man singing it, well, sort or talk/singing it. It was a story song about him as a little boy wanting to go on vacation to Disneyworld, but his parents travel up Highway 66, instead. It’s a long song that tells about all the places he passes and sees, and the ending is about how they are going to visit his grandmother, near Gatlinburg, I think, and the hug she gave him was worth the whole trip. It was more valuable to him than if he had gone to Disneyworld. Anyone know what song that is?

Karns Artist Has Paintings of Local Areas

This is Mr. Duncan, a local artist who captures local scenes beautifully on canvas (or paper). He has even succesfully painted the one lane underpass wit all its graffiti. You can find his shop opened from time to time right over the railroad tracks at the intersection of Ball Road.

Children Can Attend Arts Events in Knoxville TN for a Penny 2010-2011

Penny 4 Arts Home.

I just read about this in the Knoxville News-Sentinel. You must not miss it, because these events and performances are huge, such as the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra’s Tchaikovsky Spectacular, The Music Man, It’s a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Carol, etc. Here is a link to the website. Plan your year, now. They are encouraging families to go together to arts events, and it is for public, private, and home schools. I know I will be checking my schedule to see when I can bring some grandchildren.
