A city in central Tennessee (30,000+/- pop.), home to Tennessee Tech University (OVC) and their mediocre sports teams, Cookeville Regional Medical Center (where anyone injured worse than a simple sprain or cut has to be airlifted to Vanderbilt), Oreck Vacuums (they suck, but it's a GOOD suck) and a handful of other companies few people have ever heard of. The city government is run by the Good Ol' Boy Network and you'll never get a job with the city unless you're related to someone. County seat of Putnam County, ALSO run by the Good Ol' Boy Network. Cookeville has a Baptist Church-to-Resident ratio approaching 1:1 and anyone you meet on the street who isn't a Tech student from out of town is likely to ask you if you know Jesus. People in Cookeville who like to think they are hip, quaint or funny refer to the city as "Cookietown," "CookeVegas" or "The 'Ville." The outskirts of Cookeville are packed full of double-wides.

2: "Oh, bro, I feel sorry for ya."
1: "Yeah, the girl at the counter was cute but as soon as I started chatting her up she got all Jesus & God bullshit on me."
2: "Yeah, that'll happen."

Get the brooksville mug.A town in Tennessee named Cookeville Tennessee.
Dubbed so because of the tendencies of local dignitaries to line their pockets at the cost of poverty level, homeless, disabled and/or handicapped citizens.
CrookvilleJoe is a local rapper who is accredited with dubbing the town after watching crooklyn by spike Lee for the first time in 2001. Being that the town's nicknames at the time ( cook Vegas and cookietown) did not imply any truths, this nickname helped fuel the young artist to promote the NEWLY NAMED "CROOKVILLE" IN HIS FIRST RELEASED, INDIVIDUALLY PRODUCED, BASEMENT RECORDINGS AT 14-15 YEARS OLD while attending Cookeville high school.
