"A small piece of history lives here"

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again—thank goodness this little area is mostly industrial! The flood waters that wrecked the Farmers’ Market made it down here as well. There was less damage in this region, but damage there was. Check it out if you’re looking at property down here.

Kudos to TravelGal, by the way, for the note about the name of this non-neighborhood. All I can say is, I wish I’d managed to say it first! ;)

One possible place of interest in the—ahem!—“Bruton Snuff” area is First Baptist Church, Capitol Hill. The church is up on Rosa L. Park Boulevard between Nelson Merry and Gay streets. The _Tennessee Encyclopedia of History and Culture_, published by the University of Tennessee, has an article on the congregation.

According to that encyclopedia, the FBC-CH congregation has been around in some form or fashion since 1824 or earlier, with biracial worship services standard from the beginning. (Here in the South, that’s impressive!)

“Bruton Snuff” is a part of what some of us call Downtown, and it’s very close to the MTA bus station. So of course the public transit is good—three regular bus routes run along the edges of this tiny region.

"Not really a neighborhood"

Bruton Snuff is not really a neighborhood, but the big sign with that name on it down by the State Capitol catches your attention. I went down there today and drove around again to make sure I hadn't missed anything. No neighborhood, but it is an industrial area and has a big Goodwill Store. Also there is the the U.S. Tobacco Company, which used to house a pretty neat museum, but that has closed.

Bruton Snuff itself is not a destination, but it is close to the Capitol, Hope Gardens, the Farmer's Market, TSU downtown campus, downtown, Metro Center, and Germantown.
