Welcome to Oak Ridge: The Secret City

Well, after an 11 hour drive through PA, DE, MD, VA, and TN, I finally arrived in Oak Ridge, TN late Friday night. After settling down in my apartment, pictured below, I traveled around the area and took a few photos.



Interestingly enough, right behind my apartment was my own little Walden Pond. I'm sure this will become a nice secluded spot to come and relax during some of my free time!



I also visited the American Museum of Science and Energy, located in Oak Ridge. This museum basically details the history of Oak Ridge and its prominent nuclear past. Even though I've only been here for a few days, you can tell that this town is highly in favor of nuclear energy (duh..didn't see that one coming).

For a really interesting read, I recommend looking at this short essay.

Here are some of the photos taken today.
