My mother told me stories about Bonnie Lou & Buster they also lived in Johnson City Tennessee in a upscale trailer park late 50s early 60s my mom and dad and my sisters lived beside them I was just a thought I didn't come around till 68 by which time Bonnie Lou and Buster was no longer living in the trailer park we were not either my dad had a house built up the street Rumor Has It Bonnie Lou and Buster was on the TV and was going back and forth from Knoxville to Pigeon Forge and Dolly Parton as a young girl ran away from home and went to Bonnie Lou and Buster trailer in Johnson City and when she was finally returned to Pigeon Forge to her family whether this is a true story or made up numerous people has told me the same story that lived in the trailer park and lived in that area so I've always assumed it was true
