'Sentinel' Article Mentions Local
Industries The "unimpeachable charm" of
Greeneville has been featured in an article in the Orlando Sentinel, a Florida
newspaper. The Sunday, March 16, edition of the Orlando Sentinel
included an article by Jay Clarke, a writer for the Universal Press Syndicate, with a photo of the
monument and gravesite here of President Andrew Johnson. Clarke and his
wife visited Greeneville this past fall. They were given a three-hour tour by Tammy Kinser, director
of tourism for the Greene County Partnership. A similar article by Clarke
appeared in the Feb. 10 issue of the Houston Chronicle newspaper. The
article says Greeneville's main claim to fame is its connection to Andrew Johnson, the 17th
president, and it explains the story of Johnson's life as a tailor and elected
official. Also mentioned is frontiersman Davy Crockett, who was born in
Limestone. According to the article, tourism is Greeneville's top
industry, but several prominent manufacturers also are mentioned. They include Jarden Zinc, which
makes copper blanks for coins; EcoQuest International and John Deere Power
Products. The article ends by recommending the peanut-butter milkshake
and chip burger at the Little Top drive-thru restaurant.
