We’re looking in the area west of Knoxville. Low property taxes; low cost of living. Rifle racks in trucks. Polite people — even the kids! Actually, I fly out of LAX tomorrow to check out some real estate...
...which brings up another problem. I’ll be in airports tomorrow. Trapped. Inauguration Day. CNN. Low gag threshold.
May I suggest the Jonesborough / Greenville area? Not to far north of Knoxville, same kinds of folks. You may get more for your buck, but it has been quite some time since I’ve been there. Just a suggestion - Good Luck with your travel.
