It doesn’t get much more “dear Facebook” than this. Are there that many OT members in this part of Tennessee?

It is better than the dog shite at the storage unit thread, so

The plant that exploded is in Kingsport, Tennessee but I believe there is one in St. Gabriel, LA as well.

If a plant blows up near Baton Rouge today, we will know that the much-rumored Butch Jones for Ed Orgeron trade has been consummated.

Never been but Eastman has a plant there that's pretty much the high end job sector of Longview.

When I lived in Tyler, they were always trying to get us EE's to co-op there.

Plant Manager was probably asleep in the break room making $45.00 an hour.

Honestly, I was born in Kingsport. My parents met while working at Eastman. So there.
