can’t wait to get out of Tennessee!
Well thanks FReeper, wiped out that great idea out of my head
If you like mountains and lakes, there are still some nice small towns left, although they are being advertised to those looking to flee blue states so they may fill up soon.
Nashville and Knoxville metro areas have horrible traffic and homeless problems, so avoid those. Areas near the Great Smokey Mountains National Park have been over built and are overpriced, so be aware of that.
I haven’t been to Chattanooga in years, but a neighbor who just returned from a week there told me yesterday that Chattanooga is starting to see the same traffic, crowding and druuggie/homeless problems we are having here.
I’m a saltwater person, not so much a mountain person, so the drastic changes to my hometown here are more distressing to me than they would be to a newcomer who loves mountains and lakes. You might like it!j
To me, a remote island with abundant wildlife surrounded by saltwater teeming with redfish is worth the price of hurricanes. To a mountain !over, the overcrowding, traffic congestion and high real estate prices of Knoxville might be worth the price for being near mountains and lakes.
My leaving makes room for one more here, I guess.
