I just saw the National Trust for Historic Preservation's (NTHP) annual list of Top Twelve Distinctive Destinations in the US.
One of those places, Dandridge, Tennessee, looked very familiar.
I realized that this is where I fill up the old gas tank whenever driving I-40 from North Carolina to Nashville. There are several stations right by the interstate, one of which is the Pilot where I usually stop. Evidently, there is always a gas war on there.
You definitely do not want to fill up in Asheville if you can help it as they are usually 20 cents more expensive that Dandridge or the rest of NC.
The NTHP cites Dandridge as being nestled in the "foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains (close to Gatlinburg and Knoxville farther west) with a small-town spirit, a charming historic downtown and a quintessential Southern Appalachian town."

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
