We
have a blog viewer who lives near Oak Ridge, Tennessee..and I’ve asked
him how the place is since it was one of three primary “labs” in the
development of the Atomic Bomb.
He says....
“Got here a little late for any first hand knowledge of stuff. Got a lot of 2nd
hand info that time has more or less verified.
This is one hell of an odd ball place. Lot of education, damn little common on
sense. If it took common sense to obey the law of gravity, the sky here would be
full of Ph.Ds flying to and from work.
Without any intentions, due to how housing/rent and general living expenses
were
charged and paid, all of the atomic bomb facilities in the Manhattan
Project (Los Alamos, Hanford, WA, and Oak Ridge) became near-experiments
in socialism.
For instance, for the one price you paid on a
house
rental you got your water, electricity, coal for your heat, your
furniture, blinds, etc. (everything but your food, clothing, sheets
&
incidentals).
If a light bulb burned out at 2am, there was a contractor here called
MSI (Municipal Services, Inc.) that would come replace it for you.
Still a lot of classified crap that people get faint if they hear you whisper about it.
My opinion’s not very popular, but you got it!”
thanks for the info!
