On our way north, we stopped for 6 days in the Johnson City area of eastern Tennessee. This is an area that we have read about and will consider as a new home area should we decide to move from South Florida. Our initial visit to the area was positive so we are planning to return and stay for a month to get a better feel for the area.
Linda likes the mountains, so we concentrated our looking in the Jonesborough area which is about 6 miles southwest of Johnson City.
Jonesborough is Tennessee's oldest incorporated municipality and was once the state capitol. There are numerous old well kept buildings in town with shops, a few restaurants, and most important of all (to Linda) a quilt shop. Of course this is not any old ordinary quilt shop but a shop with one of the best fabric selections in the nation. We did not get in and out of there for free. Linda also found another of her favorite places, a coffee shop! We didn't get out of there for free either.
The next few pictures will show the downtown area of Jonesborough including the main street, the county county court house, and a very old hotel and a couple of other buildings.
These are my first post of pictures and I had some
difficulty in positioning things. I'll have to go back to the tutorial to figure this out. Click on any picture for a larger view.
