Cookeville

Well, Cookeville was a pretty boring place to grow up… but I guess the boredom inspired creativity. I am a writer (unpublished at press time), my best friend is a formerly syndicated cartoonist, another guy we know is a musician and a producer who has worked with lots of people you’ve heard of, another is a musician and an artist… that’s all I can think of right now…

...and surrounding areas.

Cane Creek State Park
City Lake Natural Area
Burgess Falls State Natural Area
Arda Lee’s Hidden Hollow Park

Not a lot to do here…but it’s really beautiful.

i lived thurr for 7 or 8 years and those were the most boring of my life :) no joke

I remember driving through Cookeville in the 70’s, when I was in college in Knoxville. I got stuck up there in a storm one night; the wind and rain was so bad I stopped at the Thunderbird Inn for the night.

i went to cookeville, TN, to finally see, flesh, someone i loved unbelievably deeply. maybe too deeply, for i was pretty naive and unprepared for the drama i encountered there. that never amounted into much. she lives there, still, i live here, on the opposite side of the globe and…and i still love her. kinda. some of the memories are bitter, most sweet. and they’re all forever mine.
