Just Plain Phillip: Backroads & Lore

Welcome to Just Plain Phillip: Backroads & Lore

I explore Southern Indiana, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and the Smokies from a down-home point of view. Forgotten roads, tourist traps, thrift stores, local history, folklore, cemeteries, old attractions, and stories hiding in plain sight.

Sometimes it’s history. Sometimes it’s a bargain hunt. Sometimes it’s just me trying to figure out what a place used to be.
