    I can see why you are proud of your town John. It looks cared for, clean and peaceful, I think anyone would be happy to call Murphy home.

    I've been to Murphy several times...or I should say through Murphy. A nice small town. Isn't it nice to learn near the mountains?

    This looks really nice. Love the photos, the video and the map. It will be interesting to see the results of the Twitter connection.

    What a great way to present your town and share all that it has to offer! The boating video is a nice tour-guide touch. Love it, John!

    You need a map on this lens. I love maps. Blessed by a Squid Angel today!

    Hi Mickie_G. You're right. It did need a map. I just now added it and cleaned up the lens, too. I was sick when you blessed it as a Squid Angel, and I'm just now seeing this today. Thanks!

    Good morning, Tom.

    I can tell you're loving living in Blue Ridge. You're always welcome to visit Murphy; it's a great place for anyone who likes small towns and lots of things to do in the great outdoors.

    Thanks for your comment.

    Act on your dream!

    Your lens shows your love for Murphy and the surrounding area. We travel up to Murphy for Wal-Mart, but that may change when the Blairsville one opens. I will have to find other reasons to visit Murphy, you have given me some good ones. Thanks,

    I love the Smokies, I wonder if I passed through this town? I stayed in Asheville, NC for a day or two a few years back and saw the Biltmore Estate. I'd love to go back. Great work!

    I'll have to check out Murphy next time I'm down that way; which is about once a year. Nice lens, looks like a great little town.

    Hi John - Do you know a guy who sells barbecue sauce at the flea market. Well, it was like three or four years ago. We went back last year, and I tried to find him. He makes his own sauce. It's sweet and then hot. Fabulous. My label got sauce on it, so now I can't remember the name of the sauce or read the contact info. I just started a web site called Yes You Can Grill. Yippee! My first. I mentioned the sauce there and would love to find it again and give credit to the guy and info on how to get in touch with him to buy it.

    I love your Appalachian crafters business in Murphy! It looks like your community is doing a great job for small town businesses! Kudos from Small Town Biz! I'm lensrolling you for others to see how to market their towns!
