Woohoo!!! Woohoo!!!

We've just arrived in TN!!! Visiting/Moving this weekend... and our first time in TN. Would like to say hello to everyone and look forward to reading about it all.

This is technically our vacation, but we're also moving here this weekend. So happy to be out of the Midwest, let it rust away for all we care.

We're staying with friends near Knoxville until we find a place. To be honest, we know very little about the state other than what we've read, so please share the best of the best from a natives perspective - places to live (3 bedroom minimum), school systems (2 kids), restaurants, jobs (first priority), etc etc etc...

Thanks and we look forward to you all!

Must be nice, enjoy. I've been waiting to escape the rust belt for months myself and move to TN. Good luck.

Welcome !!! You will love it here. We are a transplant as well. However, we like a lot of others are from Florida. Have lived here two years and this is HOME. We just got back from a visit to Florida and both of us said we won't be back. So welcome to Tennessee and making it your home. I can not give recs about schools as we have only grandkids but West Knoxville is where we call home. Restaurants? Gee take your pick.....so many to be found.

I thought WE were the local Chamber of Commerce!

No. Wait a minute. Businesses don't have to pay money to join and we really tell it like it is!

Welcome home to Tennessee!

Welcome to Tennessee! I'm sure I speak for everybody when I say we're glad to have you.

I'm a transplant from New Mexico, and over the past three years I've come to love this place as if I'd lived here for my whole life. I hope the same can be true for you and your family.
