What can you tell me about the area? I'm going next week to check things out.

I think Tennessee is a great state and have thought of moving there myself. I trailered a boat from Chatanooga. Lots of valleys and bluffs and rivers in between. The lake I was on had a 45mph speed limit, but I didn't care - it was a test drive. The people there are some of the utmost friendly people I have ever met. The boating is second to none. You can drive to the gulf of mexico or the atlantic, freshwater or saltwater. A reasonable cost of living.

If I was going to go somewhere - thats were it would be.

Nashville is better but K-town is almost as good!

I live on fort loudon lake the same that knoxvile's on more than happy to help with any info. I have to agree more goin' on in nashville

Can't beat 2nd Ave!!

There is plenty going on in So Cal and Vegas. That's kind of what I'm trying to get away from!

What makes nashville better?

Not a big club and party guy (rather do that on the lake). Looking for a small town feel but still with some employment or business opportunities.

Both cities have lots of water nearby (actually IN town). Economy in both is good, but have to give a nod to NashVegas for economy/lifestyle.
If we can help you, let us know.
Regards,
Steve

Nashville is booming economy wise. We're like you.. like to do our partying on the lake!

you could split difference I commute to cookeville (100 miles one way) its right in the middle of the two cities couldn't find nicer people and got dale hollow to north. still has small town values I forgot center hill is to the south

I would agree that the people from both areas are as nice and genuine as you'll find anywhere. I went to college with people from both Knoxville and Nashville and everyone was great. I wouldn't think finding good employment opportunities would be difficult in either area. Good luck!
