The small Tennessee town called McMinnville has a population of 13,669; quite frankly, I find this hard to believe for I highly doubt I have seen that many people in this radius.

MARYSVILLE SHORELINE I was looking at the twenty acre site it was like a ghost town. What should go there I thought to myself.
