Re: Location
I live in the Tennessee Valley, right next to the Great Smoky Mountains. I'm about 15 minutes from Knoxville, 30 minutes from Gatlinburg/pigeon forge (the Vegas of the East, minus the gambling).
The picture above is a view similar to the one I see every day driving in to work.
Tennessee is my favorite place, and I've lived here all my life. I feel like we are in a good location. We have beautiful rivers, mountains, and we are no further than a day trip to the beach. We have great weather, and rarely get over 2 inches of snow. We experience four seasons: Winter, almost summer, summer, and late summer. We are close to Atlanta and Nashville, about 3 hours from both, and 2 hours from beautiful Asheville NC.
We arent very back woods in my area, but there are definitely some places around here that are a few centuries behind. Nothin' wrong with that, they are just a little slower paced. Also, playing in the rivers and lakes around here is very popular. Norris Lake, below, is my favorite.
SEC football is a religion down here, as is high school football. The rivalries run deep, as most of the time families stay in the same area. 6 people from 3 generations in my family graduated from the same high school.
Come to East Tennessee!!
