Hi Wayne,
Glad you could find it. Yes, one of my sons said the same thing. It
has changed from a small town bedroom community for the engineers like
me that were drawn in to Arnold Engineering Development Center in the
early 1950s, to a regional medical center and shopping location for the
surrounding four counties. Two of my grandsons are doctors, with
thriving practices locally. The school system is one of the best in the
state, so professionals don't mind bringing their families here. All in
all, it has been a great place to live.

Thanks Jim, I had a play with Google maps tilting , etc. The airport is quite
recognisable but there are some dramatic changes in places.

Wayne,
Thanks for looking. I tried to print a Google overhead shot, but I got an
Access Denied message.
If you want to look at it, search on Google Maps for Tullahoma, TN USA and
use the airport to orient it with my photo.
I'm no longer legal to fly, so I can't duplicate the shot these days.

Subject: [OM] IMG: A View from the Past
Trying to get my mind off of events on Wall Street and in Washington,
I started looking back at photo files from the past. Sixty years ago,
Tullahoma, TN was expanding westward. This image shows the
developing residential areas as viewed from a Piper Cub and recorded by
a Leica IIIa.
http://www.gallery.leica-
users.org/v/OldNick/West+Tullahoma+January+1959PS.jpg.html
Our home at the time was in the small wooded subdivision just below
the center of the photo. Eight years later, we built a new home in
the wooded subdivision shown at left center. The airport can be seen
in the upper left corner. All of the upper right area has been
commercially developed, and upscale residential areas have filled the
areas further right, and most of the undeveloped area in the foreground.
Comments and critiques welcomed and appreciated.
