[edit] Trivia

Some Trivia that would need sourcing prior to adding to the article is that welcome signs used to say, "Welcome to the three states of Tennessee", before this practice was abolished by one of the former governors in a unify the state campaign. Jon 18:30, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

The governor in question was Winfield Dunn; he did this within a month of taking office in January 1971 in fulfillment of a campaign promise. I remember it like it was last year; but would assume that it would probably take an article from The Commercial Appeal or

The Tennessean of that era to validate this. If you feel ambitious, you can start in the Tennessean archives for February, 1971, and I guess that you'd find it. Rlquall 14:04, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
