Ann Jackson. Just a Soddy girl. That’s right…Soddy.

Everyone from Soddy-Daisy knows you are either from Soddy or Daisy. We all know where the line is; right where the post office sits. Go north, you are in Soddy. Go south, you are in Daisy.

One day while driving down a Soddy backroad I noticed an old van sitting under a shed and thought it would be a nice photograph. I snapped a photo with my phone; ran a photo effect on it, and posted it to my Facebook and Instagram pages with the caption, “Somewhere in Soddy Daisy, TN.” The posts received more attention than expected. A few days later while I was out driving, an abandoned trailer caught my eye. The rust stains running down the sides; the shredded plastic hanging from the porch, and even the shape of the trailer was visually interesting. I snapped a photo of it and posted it with the caption "Somewhere in Soddy-Daisy."

With this second, “Somewhere In Soddy-Daisy,” post, people started guessing where the photo had been taken and even wanted to know where. Eventually, people made a game out of identifying where my Soddy-Daisy photos had been taken, and even got upset when I wouldn’t tell them!

You can see some photos of Soddy-Daisy on my Somewhere In Soddy-Daisy Facebook page, link below.

My hope is that you will find beauty in things of which I found beauty, and take notice of the places and people who may need help. Please do your part to keep our city beautiful for generations to come.
