Thanks.

I once considered moving from New Jersey to eastern Tennessee. This case gave me second thoughts.

What are your thoughts about the eastern portion of your state?

I love the area and the local people. Many years ago I lived in an east Tennessee town but stayed at home on a resort. After a family death, I had to get out into the community. That was the best thing I had ever done. I found that by staying isolated I had missed much. The locals were kind and trust worthy. Most locals will know someone who can do whatever you need for your home, land or vehicle. East TN is conservative. Al Gore lost TN as did Obama. There is a great opinion piece by Greg Johnson in Wednesday's Knoxville “News Sentinel” titled ‘Obama’s absence at Smokies’ 75th noticed’. Perhaps you can find it on-line. Anyway, Knoxville is a busy city with big city crime. The kids were young college students and probably a target for the killers. An older person may have been armed which would have had a different outcome. I plan a move to an area 30 minutes from Knoxville.
