Re: Jonesborough, Tennessee boycotted

Jonesborough is the oldest town in Tennessee. My oldest nephew's wife is from there. Wouldn't you know as soon as the poor ol' graybacks were let in, the "Powers that be" would mongrelize the bluebellies. Do they think the WTBS was a family spat? (Well, in a way it was, but the brave men on both sides deserve recognition for who they were.) Fitzgerald, Georgia has alternate streets named for Confederate and Union Generals, honoring both sides. The town was settled by veterans from both sides. Methinks Jonesborough has become a little too gentrified. Stan
