Quaint town - 2/23/2024
Greeneville is a quaint small town with strong historical roots and identity. They believe in keeping history alive, and rather than tear down old buildings, they are slowly renovating them, which adds to the charm. Thankfully, the mindset is to keep history and culture alive, rather than tear things down and build hideous skysc****rs.

This is, as reported, a highly religious and distinctly Republican

Cost of Living - 3/6/2008
I just recently moved to Greeneville from another state that is much more exprensive housing-wise. Greeneville is marginally better in that respect but the cost of utilities is outragious. The groceries is about average and gasoline is the same everywhere. Medical is about par for most places I have been
