Quiet,beautiful little town.

Well,I read a review about my town on this site and it really bothered me. It had some truth,but mostly it was just untrue and obviously written by someone with limited experience concerning small town life. I have lived here my entire life. It's quiet,laid back,and a beautiful place to live. We have our unfortunate bad economy,lack of jobs,and yes,I'm sure,illicet drugs and such. What town does'nt? Would I trade the relative lack of crime,serious stuff,like rape,murder,and child abduction for a bustling night life? Umm,no! So,Newport is a wonderful little town,and most people are very friendly,unless you make fun of our "hillbilly accent",which is part of our heritage and we ARE'NT ashamed of that thank you very much. Also,We d love our Tennessee Vols,and I don't know any racist people,although I'm sure they are here,just like everywhere. Anyway,it's not a big city so if you're looking for 24/7 activity,it is'nt here. However,if you are looking for beauty,good people,and just atight-knit community,then come visit. Thanks.
