10. Oak Ridge was a secret city
built during WWII to make
components for the atomic
bombs.
cool story :)
secret city, made components for the atomic bombs. legacy: one of the biggest labs in the usa
17. church!
TN is on the “bible belt,” where most
of the strong christians are.
most people are christian and go to
church regularly, and some take it
*very* seriously.
18. pets!
we treat them like part
of the family. really.
this was one of my baby
brothers :)
28. we also have bluegrass,
very traditional and one
of the coolest music
genres I’ve heard.
no percussion, no brass,
just strings. and the
fiddle. oh the fiddle.
29. and all this music stuff
has its high point at
bonnaroo, one of the
biggest music festivals in
the US
30. it’s HUGE! in a farm, in a
very very hot and humid
area, everybody camping
40. grits... don’t really taste
like anything to me. you
can put cheese and
butter to make it salty,
or jam to make it sweet.
good, not my favorite.
41. good lord! I’d trade my
brother for a sweet
potato casserole
42. hot dogs!
they’re pretty different from ours.
the hot dog itself looks more like
the sausages we have here, and
they’re grilled. also usually there
isn’t much besides the bun and the
hot dog.
43. sweetened iced tea!
I think it’s the number
one thing tennesseans
miss when they leave the
south lol
44. and pink lemonade!
it was just weird first
time I saw it, but tastes
pretty good. sweeter
than regular lemonade.
45. and corn dogs!
it’s like a deep fried hot dog made
with a corn based flour... they’re
good!
talking about deep frying... well,
we like deep frying...
