Great line....
“If during your visit you keep thinking...things are really slow here and behind the times, then pick another state.”
Believe me, it's a sentiment deeply felt by those of us who live here. Nothing more infuriating than people coming here and wanting to change our way of life to suit them. Probably the sentiment of people living anywhere.
TN is a wonderful state and has a lot to offer. Beautiful countryside, many nice state parks, and plenty of towns to choose from within commuting distance of Nashville. My brother commutes from Cookeville. My step-brother and his wife moved to Spring Hill from L.A. this year and love it. He's in the music business and works in Nashville sometimes.
