Welcome to Ted's Johnson City Time Warp, a page consisting of a wide variety of past events, happenings and history in Johnson City, Tennessee.

Much appreciation to the employees of the East Tennessee State University Sherrod Library in the microfilm department and the Archives of Appalachia for all their help in making this happen. All of these post are shared with the Johnson City Memories Group on Facebook, including many more of my post that are not included on this page. I want to thank all the people who have liked and follow this page.
