I was born and raised in J.T. I moved away in 2015 and have only been back once in 2017. My dad still lives there. From what he tells me, there's been a massive influx of people moving there and in the surrounding areas up the mountain, and the tourists make it unbearable in the Fall. There always were tourists as far as I can recall; but evidently it's gotten nearly out of hand. Anyway, thank you for this trip down memory lane. Looks like not a whole lot has changed as far as the buildings, but that big bridge over the river is new! There was never anything there but a cliff. If you made a Left where the new bridge begins, the old bridge used to be down that way about 500 or so feet. It was small and rickety. Miracle it never collalsed. 😅
