Is there plenty of work in the area? we are thinking of coming to visit to see if we like it but I know its so hard to tell on a visit if you actually want to live there. any help is super appreciated.

Great city! - 9/19/2006
I loved living in Franklin. This city has the small town feel with all the big city extras.

Here are the negatives:
Sales tax is 9 1/2% BUT you can choose what you do or do not buy-remember your paycheck will be BIGGER here-also, if you like bulk shopping on
