I would definitely take a detour to see Dayton after what I have read about it. And Soddy-Daisy? That name is enchanting!<br /><br />Pixies~ Don't you hate when your comment is lost and you must attempt to reconstruct it? Sorry it happened to you. <br />I can only react in awe at your second paragraph! I'll have to read that several times, most definitely.<br /><br />naomi~ I would bet you are right about the ethnic makeup back in the days when this postcard was printed. The demographics I saw online show a definite improvement in that regard today.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-50719321577117793802011-09-21T05:51:53.177-07:002011-09-21T05:51:53.177-07:00Fascinating and don't you wonder about a schoo...Fascinating and don't you wonder about a school system with its own postcard? Also, knowing Tennessee, am assuming it was a white-only place.naomi dagen bloomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16636592739857173279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-8295583808232588262011-09-21T05:19:02.778-07:002011-09-21T05:19:02.778-07:00ah curses - i left a long response which seems to ...ah curses - i left a long response which seems to have been lost :)<br /><br />The video on creationism is fascinating. One analogy that has been used to "prove" scientology is that if you look at the odds of the world having been created in its present form without some form of intervention they are so tremendously against it that it therefore proves the existence of God, and thus Intelligent Design. However a mathemetician went to court in the USA as part of a test trial against teaching creationism in school and dealt five cards from a pack - and then proceeded to prove that it was impossible mathematically for him to have received the cards he had.<br /><br />I can only react in awe at the level of research you have put into this post - wow!Don't Feed The Pixieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05380146661526476947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-65535554306092638562011-09-21T04:41:01.785-07:002011-09-21T04:41:01.785-07:00Interesting post, and while I am a Tennessean, I&#...Interesting post, and while I am a Tennessean, I've never been to Dayton. It would be a detour off the two interstate arteries (I40 and I 24). It's an interesting aside how the coming of the interstate system consequently resulted in some towns flourishing and others declined. I40 out west basically by-passed the old Route 66 to the same end with respect to towns along that route. While those towns still survive as tourist curiosities, they appear as places time forgot. Two towns not far from Dayton (Soddy and Daisy) replaced their original schools and consolidated to form Soddy-Daisy High School. While I've not been there either, Soddy-Daisy has some resurgence because of its proximity to Chattanooga, making it a small town satellite community for those working in Chattanooga, but wanting a more small town life style.mythopolishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03164758700393086005noreply@blogger.com
