Expansion Pains


Nashville , Tennessee - how many people remember Nashville Tech? The college campus on White Bridge Road. I sure remember that place. There were teachers teaching , who's careers included building the bomb and designing the Apollo/Saturn rocket. You don't find teachers in that caliber now a days , in places like this.

Today , Nashville Tech is known as Nashville State Community College. Besides the change in name , the school has undergone an entire make over. I can not recognize the place any more.

In today's Tennessean , they tell about needing more room , that has been found in Antioch. Well , since I do remember Nashville Tech , I also remember Dr. Lawrence , who was the school's president. He used the school to hire his friends , got his daughter a job and even got her new husband a job and he used school space to store his junk and of course , his daughter's junk 'n stuff. Nashville Tech was a great place to be , if you were into politics. That new husband jumped ship and landed a really cool , high salary position in Downtown Nashville , during a time , when there were no jobs to be had or even found ( and he wasn't qualified)

Yeah , Nashville Tech , the name has changed , butt , I'm sure the game is still the same.
