I am looking for a wonderful friendly place to rai - 3/16/2007
We live in an area now where you seem to only be accepted if you were born and raised here, which we are not. When it comes to sports or other activities sometimes you are picked if only your last name is recognized.It seems everyone keeps us and our children at an arm's length and we would like to be involved and would like to make friend's.
We would like to live within 30-60 miles form Nashville.
Thank you so
