That front propeller array is wild! The whole thing is.
Is there a model kit for this? Bet itâs 'spensive and difficult!
My dad made damn sure we knew who was on the land before the white people got to it.
I remember him speaking with actual wonder in his voice about how there were still lands the white man had not seen nor walked upon; this wouldâve been in the 1970s sometime, and he was correct - then.
My dad carried mail where this is located. We lived 3.3 miles (according to Google Maps) from there.
Yes, and yes!
my local community radio station tells me Atlanta is on Muskogee Creek land but I havenât investigated any further than that. itâs nice to be reminded of, though.

No worries!
The park behind my first apartment here in Chattanooga has paths marking the Trail of Tears. Thereâs also a beautiful installation by the Cherokee Nation at the Aquarium here. Itâs nice to have that connection at least to the past, but there is no Cherokee presence here that Iâm aware of in the modern day. I think the whole tribe was moved to Oklahoma and Missouri. Supposedly we have some ancestry but a whole bunch of people have tried to chase down the threads and we have never found any real concrete proof other than one letter bribed a Cherokee into writing for him - but it does have an official seal on it.
So far as I know, some of them hid out in the mountains and still remain in the Smokies, mostly in North Carolina having joined the Eastern Band. That areaâs about a few hours drive away from your area, and there is some cultural stuff, but mostly itâs very touristy.
Didnât fanfic bring us the âTwilightâ saga? Eeuw.
