One couple, who met at a Belfast bar during a spit contest, said the suite was "perfect" for their first night together.

Remark:
Belfast, Tennessee’s 788 people, averaging 2.69 per 266 homes, reflect a 32.9 median age. Born in 1836, named for Ireland’s Belfast, it grew with a shop by 1838. The 1952 F1 tornado—three dead, 166 hurt—left a legacy. Hailey Welch’s "Hawk Tuah" stardom has fueled a $500K surge, waking this rural nook. At 94.9% white, diversity’s slow to bloom. Income ($57,815 average) lags, but Welch’s fame lifts it. This town’s knack for rebounding shines through its viral twist.
