Yes, that's really the name — and it's a real Tennessee town.
Guys, Tennessee has one of the most memorable town names in the state, and it belongs to a small community in southern McNairy County near the Mississippi line. The name alone earns the photo stop at the town sign.
Guys country is state-line country: the history of this stretch — the roadhouses, the sheriff who cleaned them up — is the real backdrop of the Walking Tall story, and the quiet farmland here today makes that history feel close.
The state-line history that made Sheriff Buford Pusser famous happened in this corner of the county.
