[QUOTE="Tall_Vol, post: 2583655, member: 121222"] I grew up in East Tennessee... 37 years there. Mostly around Johnson City/ Bristol/ Kingsport aka the tri-cities. Also lived in Knoxville for about 5 years. I have never lived in or around Nashville, but I go to the counties around Clarksville to hunt deer (old friend has a decent sized farm there & the deer are bigger and more plentiful in West Tennessee). Essentially you have 3 very different areas of Tennessee. East, middle, west. And each area is significantly different. East is an outdoorsman's dream- mountains, rivers, lakes, etc... Middle is essentially Nashville and it's suburbs, although I've never been to mid-south area of the state there's really nothing there besides small farms and small towns, to my knowledge. West is rolling hills, farm land, KY lake in the north and Memphis in the south As far as outdoor activities, there plenty of opportunities on public managed land in East TN. You have the Smokies for back packing, and the Cherokee national Forest for pretty much anything you would want to do. Hiking trails are everywhere in East Tennessee. Nashville is a city. I haven't spent time there in quite a few years, but it has grown exponentially since I was in high school/under grad. It's not really my cup of tea, so I can't help you out too much with stuff immediately around there. I think Knoxville and the Smokies are 2-3 hours away though. I will admit I'm biased, but East Tennessee is as good as it gets East of the Mississippi, depending on what field of work you're into. Certain healthcare fields don't pay the best and there's pretty much a monopoly on healthcare depending on what region (tri cities, Knoxville, Chattanooga) you're in, but there's no state income tax. Weather is nice, as mentioned. You get all 4 seasons. It can get humid in the summer months but not to the same level as the gulf Coast. Very liveable conditions. Again, this is the Eastern part of the state. Sorry I can't help you out more with what Nashville and immediate surrounding areas are like. But hopefully I helped a little. [/QUOTE]
