No..... welcome to East Tennessee.

I was attempting to assist you with adapting to the language

The flag of Tennessee has three stars representing the divisions, East, Middle and West.

Some might think the state flag is orange with a big white T, but it is not. (joke)

For the record, I'm from Kingsport which is in Upper East Tennessee

I can't tell you the actual division lines but one is near Rockwood where the time changes from eastern to central zone. The other division line is west of Nashville, before you get to Jackson I think.

I thought you probably were trying to be funny.

Really? The three stars are for the three separate areas? I wondered why three.

The orange... when we first moved here we went to Home Depot where the staff wears orange, and nobody would help us. We saw people wearing orange EVERYWHERE but they weren’t asking to help us. Turns out there was a football game later that day and everyone was dressed for the occasion.
