The second oldest town in Tennessee

We were putting a few more miles on the car when we passed this sign for Dandridge, Tennessee, and had to stop for a photo.

The town of Dandridge, aspiring to near greatness.

Not quite as significant as historic Jonesborough, it's Dandridge.

Tennessee's second oldest city represents itself well on the state's fourth tallest welcome sign.

"We saved a place for you," they proclaim, and you'll find it the third most affordable in the tri-city area, and very nearly in accord with your slightly tempered expectations for service and ammenities.

My smile in this photo was the fourth or fifth most genuine of our Tennessee adventure.

We love you, Dandridge.
