    Outstanding! Reading through the comments outlining the other "John Galt Rd/Dr/etc" gives me hope.

    I think it´s sheer sarcasm, but only proves how great Miss Rand really is. I aspire to be the John Galt of my town, writing the sequal to Atlas Shrugged as I return from exile after an odd thirteen years and begin to fix an ill fated machine that has been utterly corrupted by the meek and the fools who believe it only takes ambition to run things, foreclosing the use of true will and knowledge they thought could be bought.

    Sounds like my kind of people. At least in their choice of names. Don't know about the politics.

    If you think that was bad, the town I left in Northern California (also to go into the USAF) had an innocent air, people were friendly ("neighborly"), the cops were there to help, people (even liberals) were NOT anti-gun, and you could leave your dors unlocked at night.

    When I returned... People avoided one another and were, for the most part, hard and caustic, Firearms, while not bad, were looked at as something "thaat something should be doone about" to "protect our children", the police went from those who were there to protect to a paramilitary commando force whose rules of engagement were now "Bust heads and arrest and ask questions later"... and I watched crime on the rise.

    So it wasn't just TN that went bad, trust me!

    Don't post stuff like this.
    Some of us (like myself) start packing before our brains kick in.

    I don't know it's history but have always wondered about it. My guess is that it's relatively new, as it's out in a rural area -- recently-developed agricultural land, perhaps? -- with mainly newer houses.

    And lest we forget, a James Taggert Bridge that never gets done . Kind of his own bridge to nowhere.

    It wasn't just in TN that things were changing for the worse. My wife and I came back from a 5 year overseas assignment in the early 90's. The whole country was changing. PC became in vogue, attitudes were changing, it was culture shock all over again.

    I understand that, and the radical change was mainly the early '90s when I noticed things changing for the worse.. Up until 1990, I still wanted to move back there some day, but when I went back in 1996, I suppose the change caught up with me. Landmarks were disappearing, the town seemed to become unfriendly. That's when it hit me that I couldn't go back..

    Lebanon, TN not far from where I live now. We discussed some years later he should have made it John Galt Way instead of Drive. He named some of the other streets after family members.
