What it’s like
The place. Goodspring is a small town in Giles County, in south-central Tennessee, where most people know one another and many residents are middle-aged. Across Giles County, most homes are lived in by their owners rather than rented. Winters are cold enough for frost, snow is rare, summers are hot, and rain falls heavily through the year.
Work. Many residents work in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and care services, in shops, or in transport, warehouses and utilities. Unemployment across Giles County has edged up over the past year, and the number of jobs in the county has recently fallen by a modest amount. A minority of adults hold a four-year degree, few residents work from home, and the typical drive to work is a fairly long one.
Things to do. McKamey Manor, a tourist attraction, is a longer drive away and is one of the best known places nearby. Wheeler Lake, a reservoir, and David Crockett State Park, a protected area, are also a longer drive away and suit those who enjoy the outdoors. The Buffalo River, a river, is another option for a day out.
