...I like to think of K'ville as the little town that time forgot, and that the decades cannot improve. I did a two month training over at the Nashville SSA, while working back in E TN, north of you a little.
Back then, Nashville was bright lights and the Opry, with all the glitz of the new Opry Convention Center. Knoxville, OTOH, is "the cradle of country music".
I was still living there when they held the '82 World's Fair in Knoxville. In a more rapidly changing place, they would have redeveloped the site already. In K'ville, the park's still there as a monument to civic pride. I love the place. But it's not exactly overwhelming in it's embrace of the 21st Century. Nashville is like the TN version of Las Vegas.

When was the last time you were in K-Town?

Went for a treacherous afternoon walking activity. It was OK if you could find a line where only one or two cars had driven. If not, it was either traipse through several inches of snow, (I wasn't wearing boots) or risk life and limb on the glazed-over partially melted, then refrozen roadway.
In the words of DougRNS , F that noise. This snow is idiotic.

I just by watching Vanishing Point '97 I reckon.
I got this one next, a Cliff's notes of the original Gone in 60 Seconds (made before bam was born) with the Strangler's "Peaches" overlain for audio.

...by using "Just the Two of Us" as teh background music in that TikTok, are they talking about the two working snowplows they have for the entire city ?
I'm pretty sure it never snowed that much at once, the entire time I lived back there. I hope it warms up enough soon, that you can just let it all go as runoff.
I kinda used ta like shoveling snow, back when I was young and fit. Now, it's just another thing in life I'd rather avoid.

More snow tomorrow. Possibly more than the 3" originally predicted.
