The worlds most gorgeous pharmacist!

[@archieadams4841]

Definitely a beautiful lady

[@debgholson8166]

Such a pleasure watching and listening to someone so excited and animated by their history! Thank you!

[@connie6623]

WOW- This is an awesome town. You cannot replace the history and the quality of these old buildings. Just love it.

[@theappalachianchannel]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@kellyleewright97]

Dandridge has been our home for 6 years. It is the most wonderful place we could ever imagine. I'm so glad it hasn't "grown with the times".

[@katheryn7318]

I just moved to TN three months ago. I am in Nashville now but have purchased a lot in Morristown so hopefully if all goes right; nine months from now I will be living small town again...yea!@@kellyleewright97

[@onlythewise1]

why did they tear them down in califronia long time ago

[@onrycodger]

Wow, the gentleman that gave the tour is quite the storyteller....an was good at it too! As always, Thumbs up 👍

[@theappalachianchannel]

Glad you enjoyed it and Thank you for watching our videos! John & Jodi

[@tombryan1]

The owner is stunning, her eyes, wow, some lucky guy out there.

[@watchinglclowns9890]

Yes Sir, I've visited that Soda Shop She's Even more Stunning in Person just A Gorgeous Lady I say that with The Utmost Respectful Way ..... To not offend...

[@barbmelle3136]

A safe, peaceful quality town can only exist with good quality people. With so many of America's once great cities looking like war zones and filled with criminals, it is refreshing to see Dandridge. Well done citizens.

[@randyjordan5521]

Dandridge has low crime because its population is 90% white and 4% black.

[@donyoung7874]

You can't compare the two. The quality of the people has nothing to do with it.

[@CarterKey6]

You are correct. Unfortunately a lot of small towns are being invaded as well. My mom told me recently that there are homeless everywhere in the town that she lives in where the last time I was there no homeless.

[@safeandeffectivelol]

@@donyoung7874 The quality of people is everything. There is no magic dirt that turns people with bad morals into good people.

[@krwd]

Amen to that brother we need to preserve, protect, and defend

[@VictorHenderson]

Wow... great little town and stunning pharmacist.

[@John-kx3ng]

Love to see towns like this in our great country! Thankyou!

[@earleneclayton6036]

This is an awesome video. I really enjoyed watching it and learning the history of Dandridge. The gentleman doing the narrating of the history was amazing. So much knowledge of the history of the town. He did an awesome job. Very, very interesting . We enjoy your channel.

[@theappalachianchannel]

Thank you very much!

[@mr55771]

As a englishman I find these small towns fascinating. So much history

[@deborahkelley4719]

I love the hospitality of a small town. I'm a native of NH, resident of VA. It's definitely not a friendly state. I 💕 the old stores, every one seems to be friendly in TN. Beautiful town I must say. John keep up the good work 💯

[@popmarbles6980]

John, this Gentleman was most interesting of all - and great historian. Thanks, Larry from Arkansas

[@kennethstuckey7823]

Hi John and Jodi! Dandridge, TN. Wow! I'm am totally enthralled! This place is beautiful, peaceful, and blissful. If anyone wants to know what a true Town Ambassador looks like, tell them to meet the spectacular Mr. Bob Jarnagen . His elation for Dandridge, the town he was born, grew up in and still lives today, is so obvious, evident, and truly fascinating! He is definitely "the" ambassador of this town, and an indisputable indispensable walking history book of the town's origins, founders, people, religions businesses, streams, buildings, history, culture and everything else; good, bad or indifferent. That's how a town historian is supposed to be, truthful about its history, period, and the fact that Mr. Jarnagen fosters that modality is very much appreciated. Mr. Jarnagen is also knowledgeable of and gives homage to native Americans who resided in that area way before there was a town there, which is truly noteworthy. It is obvious that he really loves Dandridge and being an important part of its business sector, community, and history. Mr. Jarnagen's graciousness and kindness are blatant. It is also obvious that he is a man of GOD. As he strolled the town, he bestowed the town's story/history in a manner in which you could actually invision what he is saying with precision. Wow! John, this video is awesome! You just captured another important oral history from another spectacular person, and I thank you so much for doing that. Please also thank Mr. Jarnagen for his time and for sharing this treasure of a town with us! GOD bless!

[@LLewis_dg]

My wife and I have been vacationing here that last few days. The folks are so genuine and friendly. We’ve really enjoyed this sweet historic town. The last 3 days we’ve had breakfast at Tinsley-Bible Pharmacy. You won’t find a better breakfast anywhere. We’re looking forward to our next visit.

[@theappalachianchannel]

[@user-bk4nh7kk1y]

Dandridge is a gem of an American town. Had lunch at the Smokey Q and it was the best BBQ ever! Loved the downtown as well.

[@joewoodchuck3824]

I've found Tennessee in general to be extra polite and friendly. It's one of the reasons we moved here.

[@katheryn7318]

Yes, genuineness is a bit hard to find these days. Nice to see there are still small pockets of folks who share old time values!

Bob Jernigan is a very amicable fellow! Enjoyed his town tour & history lesson very much! 😊🌺

[@billthomas6296]

I live in Marville, TN and just love your videos about our history. I remember when Maryville was just a small town and we all used to call it Mayberry because of its size and lack of resturants, stores etc. and had to go into Knoxville to aquire certain items. Thanks again John and thanks to Bob for sharing his knowledge.

[@randyjordan5521]

An older lady who lives in Pigeon Forge told me that when she was a little girl, they could sled on the parkway when snow was on the ground, because vehicle traffic was so sparse in the wintertime. And now today, it's a six-lane highway with nonstop traffic.

[@jeanineshiman8228]

Bob, the historian was super interesting to listen too, the pride of his town shines thru !!

[@JohnnyUtah15]

What an interesting town! Really enjoyed learning the history/background of it and the people that are preserving it. Bob sure did a great job relaying the history of Dandridge and thank you both, John and Jodi, for filming it. Enjoyed the bonus footage of the fall foliage from last year, too.

[@RagingEggs]

Please, please, please keep this town just the way it is. Never let the madness of the outside world intrude. We need places like this.

[@Notsram77]

5:27 When Bob talks about buying models down the street, his face transforms back to a little boy. It really is quite remarkable. What a great town!

[@harrypalmer7169]

What a fantastic video. So much history in a wonderful place. If I ever make my way across the pond i think there would be a stop off and a few days in Danbridge.

[@ambu6478]

What a wonderful town! I was born and raised in West Tennessee, but had no idea that a town with this much early America and Tennessee history still exists!! We've been to Gatlinburg numerous times, but never been to Dandrige. As soon as we can, we will definitely visit your awesome historic town. We don't live too far from Davy Crockett's last home place in Rutherford Tennessee.Thanks so much for sharing this with us!!

[@DanielLehan]

I have done some historical research of that area for two Hudson Brothers, who went to that area from North Carolina, c. 1780's.KEEP THE HISTORY ALIVE! I was kind of looking for a place to settle down in about 2 years,..and it just so happened that this came up. Thanks for the historical tour. From another historian.

[@MrPeteypoo]

This was so great to watch, what a beautiful old town, and so good to see the enthusiasm of the residents in preserving it. Greetings from North Wales.

Mr Jarnigan is a local treasure and I am happy to call Dandridge my home, too.

[@Jiggidywig]

Wow....this is an awesome town! Bob is a historian of his town that I could listen to all day long. I loved my Davy Crockett hats that I grew up with and my sons played with them too. I have visited before but see now that I missed alot of information. Again people like Bob make a difference and four generations has to this day. Enjoyed this so much.

[@theappalachianchannel]

Thanks so much

[@mikebarrett1721]

Hey John great story. Dandridge is a beautiful little town we spend the winters there. We are from Michigan the prison state. And during our stay we always make it a point to stop by the visitor center to talk to Roger. He is very knowledgable about the area including the Civil War. He has written several books on it. Great guy to talk. He's what Dandridge is all about.

[@jsterling6805]

Surprising to see a town that has survived til now. Unfortunately this way of life has ended in so many wonderful towns throughout the U.S due to the open border policy that brought wide spread crime and destruction to American way of life and traditions.

As a native life long Texan I moved to Dandridge 3 years ago with no regrets. I love this peaceful quiet town. I especially love the vintage history and ease of antique finds. My first house in dandridge was the Presbyterian manse built in 1890s . Dandridge and I are a good match....

One of the more unique towns in all of Tennessee with a water front. I have seen many new residents move in since 1996, but they have taken right up with keeping up the traditions that I feel keep Dandridge going forward for the next generation to enjoy. I knew many of the old timers of the area hated the influx of outsiders moving into this area starting in the early 1990s and hoped not to see rapid changes to the character of town. But this progress was hard to stall when this town had so much ambiance. .......I welcome the new faces and what they bring to this area and visitors too.
