Interesting!

When I was a little kid, I lived in base housing on a now closed Air Force Base in Tennessee. Our street was named after Granbury.

I think it was bulldozed to put in a Nissan factory.

Give me a couple of cross streets and I'll let you know. We were just in Smyrna a couple of weeks ago for a couple of soccer games.

The old Sewart Air Force Base. The airstrip is still there along with some of the hangars and maintenance buildings. I believe the airfield is still used by a few charter and freight companies as well as an aircraft refurbisher. Up until a few years ago it was the regular home of the Nashville Aviation Days airshow. The old officer's golf course is now the Smyrna municipal course.

The Nissan plant is built on the southeast edge of the former base property, toward Murfreesboro. This was probably base residential and buffer area.
