[@FridaysForever]

Thanks Rodney!

[@johnwood551]

When I was growing up there 60 years ago I was told that before it was called Johnson City or even Johnson’s Depot it was called Blue Plum. Glad they have a Blue Plum Festival now.JC is huge now compared to when I lived there.Nice area and ETSU is a great school where you can get a degree in Story Telling and Blue Grass Music.

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks for the info John!

[@kalinystazvoruna8702]

Actually, the Post Office was originally called "Blue Plum" which is where the area got the name.

[@courtneystevens6887]

So nice to get a glimpse of Johnson City! The Blue Plum Festival looked like it had a variety of food, vendors, and entertainment. Looked like a lot of fun! As always, thanks for sharing! 😊

Thank you for sharing Krissy! It's a beautiful area.

Some of those buildings I recognize 56 years later. King Creek and Brush Creek came together under Giant Food Market. I worked there four years. Now it is all gone. But the sign on Commerce Street remains, although with different wording from the Giant #4 days.

I wonder why it's called the Blue Plum Festival. Did the sell plums?

[@FridaysForever]

The name, Blue Plum Festival, is in honor of the 1800s rural post office serving an area in East Tennessee that would become known as Johnson City.

[@mikeanderson7165]

I don’t like boiled peanuts either lol. Thank y’all for sharing another great video.
