- Filmed on Monday, May 1, 2023, I drive around the village McMinnville, Tennessee to see what's going on.
McMinnville is the largest city in Warren County, Tennessee. The population was 13,605 at the 2010 census.
It was named for Governor Joseph McMinn.
The McMinnville area includes over 50 business and manufacturing plants and over 450 nurseries. The nursery business generates over $300 million in revenue and has given the area the title of "Nursery Capital of the World".
McMinnville, like many smaller American cities and towns, has gone through a revitalization of its downtown area. "Main Street McMinnville" serves as the city's non-profit revitalization organization funded by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and Tennessee's own Main Street Program.
The Park Theatre, in downtown McMinnville, was opened in 1939. The theater had 1000 seats and two restaurants. In 1947 a fire closed the theater and in 1948 it was reopened again after renovations. The theater closed in 1986 and the building has since been purchased by a private group. It has gone through renovations and re-opened as an entertainment center and multi-use facility.
The Grand Reopening of the New Park Theater was May, 16th 2015. Located on West Main Street, this 2 million dollar facility was restored to its original beauty and is now the home of concerts, plays, and movies. Multiple shows go on every year.
The city hosts a number of annual and frequent events. The non-profit downtown revitalization organization Main Street McMinnville hosts "Main Street LIVE!", a summer concert series that is held in June and July. In Autumn, the Chamber of Commerce hosts the Autumn Street Fair on one day in October. It features crafts, food, live music, and other activities in downtown McMinnville. Throughout spring, summer and winter the city hosts the Warren County Farmers Market.
The city also has an annual County A+L Fair. The event has regular rides and food booths, but also has local activities and food. Plenty of companies and non-profits set up food stands to advertise and raise money/awareness. In addition, there is a large seating area/stadium where there is a beauty pageant and music.
McMinnville serves as home to Cumberland Caverns and Court Square Park. Cumberland Caverns is the largest show cave in the state. At a total of 32 miles of caverns, Cumberland Caverns formerly held the title of the second largest cave in the United States. A notable feature of the caverns is the "Volcano Room", which is large enough to hold 500 people and features a chandelier from the former Loews Metropolitan Theater of New York City.
As of the 2020 United States census, there were 13,788 people residing in the city.
The racial makeup of the city was 88.42% White, 4.15% African American, 0.16% Native American, 0.93% Asian, 0.05% Pacific Islander, 5.00% from other races, and 1.28% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 6.81% of the population.
The per capita income for the city was $15,074. About 21.0% of families and 24.6% of the population were below the poverty line, including 34.5% of those under age 18 and 19.1% of those age 65 or over. #driving #travel #drivingtour
You drove right past my apartment. Very nice video.
I Was there in 1996, beautiful place
Looks a chill place to live
Grew up there, kinda chill, some teens are asses tho
Reminds me of small towns in the Midwest. Nice to see a small town in good shape, and not neglected and decaying. New sub here and L14. Look forward to watching more on your channel! 😍👍
Thank you! Every town I visited in Tennessee was bustling.
You were right down the street from my house towards the end there haha
Technically that area is part of Smartt which is an unincorporated town that is split by Morrison and McMinnville
My home town:)
I have a she-friend who grew up there. Her dad was Lloyd Turner, a WWII vet.
At 13 she was raped by three other boys. She dared not tell, but when she became pregnant, she was forced to tell Lloyd.
He slapped her across the face and mother put her on a bus to The Salvation Army’s Home for Unwed Mothers.
There, the women treated her like trash. She got not a single visit, phone call nor letter. She was shown the baby after birth and put back on a bus the next day
She returned to McMinnville where her dad started having her do things until she left.
She said that before he died, he said he was sorry about dime things that happened in her childhood.
Lloyd Turner.
Looks like a nice little city. Hard to reconcile that with the per capita.
It's probably because the people in Tennessee are having kids, and Per capita income is per person, all the way down to newborns. Those newborns are all freeloaders! None of them earning! Time to get a job!
I love your drives! I suck at RUclips, but have you ever thought about putting driving music in your videos and changing your Titles to reflect the good people are about to see? I say that because I see this video as a "Thriving Towns in rural Tennessee that you have to see" or something like that. Everybody only wants to show the bad and never the good. Some stats may also help in texts, etc. Not waiting at red lights. Things like that. You are way too good and have way too much going for you NOT to have more views and subs! The 3D, 4K, etc. is way more than most people who do this. I'm also sure you will grow as you expand out more into America as your trip progresses. Keep up the GREAT work! I am looking forward to checking out more videos in the future. Good Luck. - Ron
Hello Ron, thank you so much for the feedback. I have to disagree with you about the music, but I do love your other suggestions, especially about adding text popup bubbles with stats in them. I think I'm going to start incorporating that very soon. Thank you again for the compliments, and viewership, it's much appreciated.
@@exploreusacities Sounds GREAT to me. I like the ride sound, but just thought I'd bring that up. You know people. LOL. Keep being you, and I love what you do. Thanks.
I would love to see the length of John Oliver St. in this town. Awesome video!
thank you
If you went straight instead of turning left at 1.8 min., you would have gone pass my apartment building.
