Review of Tennessee, Tennessee


Looking for the opinions of lifetime Tennesseeans
Star Rating - 4/25/2021
Let me start with a little bit about me. First off, I am a believer in the Lord Jesus.Second, I'm from the communist state of NJ. I live near Manhattan and I can't stand it here. I've never fit in except with my brothers and sisters in the Lord. It was always a given that we would retire somewhere down south. But because of current events, relocating may be untimely pushed up. My wife and I have visited Tennessee several times and really love it. We don't want to be near Knoxville. Don't take it the wrong way, but we can't stand big cities. Also, we don't want to be by most northerners, not northerners that think like the north anyway. I'm not a people person and I don't like being told what to do, so please don't suggest an area where they are going to tell me to put on a mask. I'm looking to be surrounded by freedom loving people who love the Lord and who love country living. I'm looking to homestead on a small scale as well. We did find an area that we really liked and the people were really nice as well.... Crossville, TN. So with all that said, can any native Tennesseans help me out in case I missed an area that we would fit in???

Tennessean here. The only place that seems to be safe from the influx of Californians and New Yorkers is West Tennessee. Thinking about heading there myself, heard cool things about Memphis.

Also, I've work as a payroll clerk for a school district for over 17 years. Is hard to find work in that area, whether it's a school district or private? What areas would be recommended for work, low crime and affordable housing? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. God bless.

I am currently living in Louisiana, it's too hot and humid. I also want to escape hurricane season. Like you, I am Christian, Conservative and cherish my freedom. I'm also looking for a place to homestead, in the woods, in the hills with like minded people. I would be interested in learning what you have discovered about Tennessee.
