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.

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.
