If the company went out of business would Alcoa, Maryville and/or Blount County become obsolete?

Not even close. Sensor is the largest employer. In fact, Blount Co. Would like to have all that land and get rid of those nasty factories.

One of the greatest HS running backs ever in Tennesse. Was signed by Tennessee but never got in school. Is he still alive?

He would have been the first AA for the vols but something happened, not sure of the details.

Know several people that played with and against Davis. Most agree he was well into his twenties by his senior season.

I had never heard of him till this thread. Googled him and found some pretty interesting things. Went to TSU then on to the NFL.

Also see the links on the left of that page. Alcoa was one of the first planned communities in the state. The plan required a certain amount of space for public parks, tree planting, etc.

There was a 100th anniversary (I think) publication with a lot of interesting history. Haven't seen it online, but the Blount Co. Library probably has a copy. The City had some too. Maybe they can send you one. Worth a call to find out. They're pretty friendly.
