I grew up here, from 1958 to 1970. My dad was a highway patrolman here as I was growing up, it was like living inside Cheers, where everybody knows your name.

Sparta is my hometown. Can't imagine living anywhere else. When you said you were on the South side of town you were actually on the East side. When you turned around you were actually heading West instead of East. The main highway is US-70 or Bockman Way aka the million-dollar mile. Back in the 60s someone coined the nickname "Gasoline Ally" because of all the service stations on Bockman Way. You should have visited the White County Museum which is located behind the courthouse on South Main Street. Thank you for posting this video of our great little town.
We have since been there again and did find the city square. It's so pretty and reminded me of "Back to the Future". Love this little part of the world. Thank you for your comment! Please click the thumbs up and subscribe to our channel.
Nice video... I grew up here and moved back after my military career. Never dawned on me to think of the no graffiti and bars on windows. The square you're looking for is the 3 sides of the courthouse. Small, simple town, but wish it would grow a little bit, like maybe get a Home Depot. 😁 The name Calfkiller has a story behind it.
Thanks for your comment. I appreciate your thoughts, when passing through a new area, one doesnt have a grasp for what one is actually seeing. Hope you will join us on Lund Travels and subscribe. We are trying to get to 100 subscribers by the end of the year..almost there!!
@@lundtravels I grew up in Sparta and lived one block from the city square. The court house was the center on the square but then they cut off the road where you couldn’t circle the the square. I was a teenager during the 60s and our “strip” was circling the square and then driving across town to circle the Dairy Queen which was replaced by Sonic and back again all night. My dad was a highway patrolman in town and back then for me was like Cheers where everybody knew your name.
@@thenaftewards4064 The nearest one that I know of is in Cookeville about 30 miles away. But in Sparta there is an Urgent Care . I also saw the sign that signified a nearby hospital in Sparta, I didn't see the building myself. Please Click the thumbs up on this video and subscribe to our channel. Thanks for your comment!
Visited Sparta area a few months ago. From California and looking to get out. We are very conservative and living in California is killing us. We will not move to a place with ho!Alexa tents and bars on windows.
Grew up in Sparta Tennessee move to Arizona in 1992 have been here ever since but sure did enjoy the video

I grew up in Sparta and just remember it being called the “strip” or the million dollar mile. I graduated in 1969 from white county high school.
The city Square is around the court house. All historical buildings around it. William

Is there a river or lake?
Also we have public housing for our homeless. We do everything to help them.
I lived in Sparta in 1964 - 1965. Only had 1 stoplight then
What does she mean there was a city square but she didn’t see it. She passed right in front of it pointing out the courthouse.

What a cool town! Tennessee is one place we are considering to live in when we retire from sailing. LOVE the tour. This place is our kind of town.
We just bought a house in Crossville TN. You should check it out.
@@lundtravels Wheres the nearest hospital?
@@thenaftewards4064 There is a hospital in Cookeville about 30 minutes away and also one in Crossville. But there is an urgent care in Sparta.

Thanks for the drive around our town. Hope you enjoyed it. I have a lot of nice drone videos around Sparta. Check them out if you’d like.
Please subscribe to our small but growing channel. I will check out your drone footage!
I live in Sparta this is funny. You really missed the special part of the city by not even going to the overlook to look out over the city.
Thanks for watching the video. And thanks for your comment. When a person is just driving through, it's hard to know the best spots.
