    You've never been to Alberta I take it.

    Personally, I can't stand boots for driving. I need finesse on the throttle.

    I grew up down the street from there 408 Jackson Rd behind kroger and also worked at the Tyson's facility behind the kmart ( down a street but that direction).

    My mom still lives in the area

    Word of caution the road behind Kmart and boot Coral is NOT truck accessible past the kmart rear entrance... Low bridge and narrow that not even a dump truck could make it is under

    Best way in is to turn left at the light go behind Kmart and turn left into the back entrance... Aka truck entrance... but do NOT miss your turn or you will be backing up

    It's something you get used to. I've never worn anything but work boots in all my 16 years doing this job and "throttle finesse" is no problem here.

    Well, we were neighbors! Born and raised just north of there in Robertson County. Lived in Lodge North a few years then bought a house in Windsor Green. Lodge North is now a different name isn't it?
    Windsor Green must be going to the dumps because the house I bought there is now worth half what I paid for it. Happy I sold it a few years ago before that happened.

    I could see getting used to it, I just don't like it. I'm the same in a car, can't stand boots, especially in the winter.

    Did Taylor Swift go to Beech?
    I graduated from Goodlettsville High School. I think it's a middle school now.
