Elizabethton is a city in and the county seat of Carter County, Tennessee, United States. It is also the site of the first independent American settlement west of both the Eastern Continental Divide and the original thirteen British colonies in America.

Jason Witten, Player for the Dallas Cowboys is from my town.


Filmed in the Philippines, Elizabethton, Tennessee, and other various Carter County, Tennessee locations such as Buck Mountain and the Bee Cliff.[1] The "Palace In The Sky" resort in Tagaytay was used as the setting for Ramon Cota's hideout. The interior set of Cota's hideout (and the sets from many other interior scenes) from Delta Force 2 were actually constructed within the warehouse of former shampoo manufacturer in Elizabethton, Tennessee. Shampoo labels with a Elvis-like caricature for "Love Me Tender Shampoo" were found still attached to columns within the warehouse stage.

Ball Ground is so small that if you blink you'll miss it. However, it is about to undergo a revitalization and will very pretty when thru. The town council wants it to be a "destination" for folks on their way to the mountains. The name for the city is from an old Cherokee indian ball game playing field.

Now I live about 10-15 minute drive from down town Baltimore. It took several years for this simple small town girl to get used to fast pace city life...

I've been called 2 or 3 times for jury duty. Twice it never went ahead and the third time I went in and the lawyers were choosing who to keep as jurors. After we had a lunch break we came back in and they excused everyone to go home because while we were in line to go in a woman was telling another woman all about what had happened and that was a big no-no. They ended up getting another jury but it never went to trial because a deal was made. It was a murder trial and I really wasn't looking forward to being a part of it anyway.
