I could swear the girl at 43-52 is someone I knew in college. And the man with her, though he doesn't look like anyone I met in real life, could have been the model for the guard captain for the fictional city of Kvatch in the computer game Oblivion, sold by Bethesda Softworks.
The closest guy in the purple vest and brown coat at 33-38 looks like a fellow in a Bible study group I infiltrated while living in Huntsville, Alabama. The fellow with the guitar at 38-43 appears similar to a former coworker of mine.
The man with the authentic Tennessee hillbilly accent and the guitar who appears at 28-33 seconds into the tape (with the train approaching in the background) reminds me of my sister's husband. And the woman at 20-25 seconds looks a little like my first girlfriend after my divorce. She was a nice girl, but her mom was even more difficult to put up with then my former MIL, so I broke things off.
A few television commercials show superior artistry that can stay in your mind nearly your whole life. This is one such advertisement. It might be the best television ad ever created by a state government agency. I especially remembered the pretty blonde girl who appears at the end.
I live in Tennessee! Best time to visit is around March-April or October-November (we get beautiful fall colors here). Summers are hot as hell, but it's a nice place with a booming economy.
I haven't seen this since I was in Kindergarten.

Yes, I keep coming back to this commercial, too. I like everything about it, except the blacks.
