Review of Knoxville, Tennessee


Oh my Lord.....
Star Rating - 8/3/2007
Most of my life has been lived in the North.
Moved to Atlanta for a job and lived there for 10 years....another job pursuit took me back to Illinois. After 12 months I realized that I missed the South very much. Decided to move to Knoxville, WHAT A MISTAKE...
have never seen such backwards people in my life....looking forward to move to Atlanta ASAP and leave this backwards, deleiverancesque place far behind.

May I ask you exactly what you mean by the people being backwards? I just made a move to Lexington, KY in the middle of winter and it was freezing. It was much colder then in So IL (Carbondale) where I unfortunately have had to live most of my life. Carbondale, IL is home of SIU-C and boring with nothing to do. I like Lexington, KY except it is very cold and it is still cold even now. It snowed last night and there's quite a few inches of snow outside today. Knoxville is where I really wanted to go except I didn't one reason being I was afraid the crime would be allot worse. Please tell me more about Knoxville if you can?
