Watched part of a History Channel program last night on the American war effort to beat the Nazis in the building of the first A-bomb.  The American general put in charge of the project (can't remember his name) was basically given a blank check to get the job done.  With that in mind, a city in the Tennessee wilderness was constructed to hold some 70,000 people to work on the Manhatten Project.  I think that most of that work involved the procurement/refinement of weapons-grade Uranium.  I believe the name of the town was called “Oak Ridge”.  Anyone know much about this?  Anyone been to the town?Sad part of the story - though probably necessary given the circumstances - was that people living on that land (probably simple country folks) were given a week's notice by the War Department to get their stuff and move out.  At the time I don't think they had a clue as to why they had to move since the project was so secretive.  Imagine living on the land for generations and then being bumped out all of a sudden.  Sad, tumultuous times indeed.
