Soda Pop Junction, in the quaint town of Lynnville, is a darling old fashioned soda shop. They specialize in steaks, sandwiches and are known as being home to the #1 hamburger and #2 milkshake in the state of Tennessee. (They couldn't tell me who makes the #1 shake.) The chocolate milkshake was delicious though and the BBQ was great too. A few hours after the Ham Festival, Charley was ready to play guitar for Kelsey at the Junction. It was a lot of fun and Cory and I were glad we went. We've been wanting to go for a while now to see another friend play. That's coming up in a couple of weeks so we'll have to return and take the rest of the family. Discovery Channel's Globe Trekker has also filmed one of their shows here.
Lynnville was named for Lynn Creek which was named after the linden (or linn) trees that grew along its banks. Lynnville was a flourishing town before the Civil War, then was burned and destroyed during the war. In 1860, the Central-Southern Railroad was completed and now the train depot has been restored and made into a museum. An antique steam locomotive is on display.
