When this article talks about the song "Wagon Wheel," it says it is incorrect because Johnson City is southeast of the Cumberland Gap, but in fact, Johnson City is southwest of the Cumberland Gap since the Cumberland Gap is located where Virginia, Tennessee, and Kentucky meet. I'm removing the part saying "Wagon Wheel" is geographically incorrect.Texinian 19:55, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
How is Johnson City the 4th largest city in TN when Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville, and Chattanooga all have populations over 100K and Johnson City does not?
- The "4th largest city" claim was vandalism, basically. Looks like someone just went through the article and started randomly changing numbers. The changes have been reverted. --Jakob Huneycutt 15:16, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
What happened to all the information on this page? There is nothing related to Johnson City, TN on it anymore.
[edit] Check your facts and cite references
I don't normally edit wikipedia, I only edit what I know, and I know Johnson City, I live there.
I saw the Wagon Wheel quote and I knew the geography was wrong some time ago, but the way it was worded here it wasn't. I changed the error, and cited a reference. Johnson City is southeast of the Cumberland Gap.
Also I added Brad Teague to notable residents. I know he lives here, but have not found a reference, I will try to find one.
It seems as if some people think something is wrong and immediately change it without checking facts and citing references.24.158.102.32 17:46, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Added Brad Teague reference and fixed my Wagon Wheel reference.24.158.102.32 17:59, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
In 1980, Johnson City became the home of Rich Oyler.
Looks like a middle-management techie schlub. Hope JC has more going for it than that.

[edit] Gump Additon, not Gumpedition
See Gumps Were Definitely Early Pioneers of City Retail: "In 1927, Harry Gump filed plans in Jonesborough for a subdivision to be developed on Hillrise Farm, land he had owned since 1907. While the subdivision was officially called Hillrise Park, it was and is commonly called the Gump Addition." - Foetusized (talk) 23:50, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
