Finally! We have snow in Morristown. I had to snap a quick photo here outside the store downtown while it was coming down. We usually get tons of snow, but this year has been hot! We have the prettiest downtown - don't you think? Not only are all the buildings 100+ years old, but (to the best of my knowledge and based on our historical information here in town) Morristown is the only remaining city in the United States with overhead sidewalks. Apparently the only other city in the world with overhead sidewalks like ours is Chester, England.
Ok, now that you know about our history, let's talk more about downtown Morristown as it is today. You can see that although we had our first good snow today our downtown stays really busy now. There are lots of gorgeous old buildings (ours was built in 1906), most of which have second floor entries to the sidewalks on the second floor. Our building has three floors - each approximately 4,000 square feet!
We've seen so many beautiful new shops crop up lately - when you visit, plan to spend the day and check out Kathryn's (a clothing store), several antique stores, The Pink Pig (a pottery store), a new art gallery, Rowena's, East Tennessee Diamond, Gigi's, the local bakery, several great restaurants, and a terrific coffee house! Definitely worth spending a whole day browsing, dining and relaxing - all with the beautiful Smokey Mountains as your backdrop.
Well...I just had to share our first snow day with everyone. Come visit soon! Our snow won't last long :-)
