Total eclipse in Spring City, Tennessee

Add to Lightbox Download

A total eclipse swept through the tiny town of Spring City, Tennessee on Monday afternoon. Thousands from all over the United States and a few from around the world flocked to the city with a population of under 2,000 (according to the 2010 census). The city is situated dead-center of the path of totality of the eclipse, providing a spectacular view and one of the longest durations of totality (over 2 minutes). There were no dedicated parking areas or viewing spots, so cars simply pulled into the town and parked wherever they could, lining up in rows down the streets and along the railroad tracks that run through the town. Local businesses were thriving with the influx, and many were sold out of ‘eclipse merchandise’ such as t-shirts within hours and were taking online orders for people who missed their chance to purchase a t-shirt on the spot. Eric Henson, manager at the Movie Depot, a movie-rental store, still had a few t-shirts and said his store was ‘doing great’ with all the new business. Another local resident, Amanda Gornik, came out to sell painted rocks that she decorated on the spot with eclipse images or anything a customer asked for. 21 Aug 2017 Pictured: Total eclipse in Spring City, Tennessee.
