Review of Gallatin, Tennessee


Review Sumner County Gallatin Tennessee
Star Rating - 7/13/2021
Sumner County Gallatin Tennessee based on 10-years experience was a huge disappointment. The City of Gallatin is run by mostly family related members that are not open to new ideas and people from outside of Tennessee, a common theme found throughout the state. The Gallatin police department is notorious for misconduct over decades. The Gallatin public schools are very poor. Social life in Gallatin is generally not open to outsiders, just moving to the area and real estate prices are vastly inflated. The small city does offer convenient shopping and good family parks, but beyond that consider other options if your moving to Tennessee from out of state. I suggest not doing it and look for a state with a better educated population that's open to new ideas, people and cultures. Our family was very disappointed after 10-years with the state of Tennessee which is run by related family members, basically outdated old-school cartel like families with a rather uneducated mentality that's often down-right vicious. The first question they'll ask you is "Are you from Tennessee", if you answer "No", they put you in a separate category, and good luck trying to get a top job, build a robust career or significant business. You'll meet with resistance all the way in Tennessee, so from experience take my advice, best to put your time, money and energy elsewhere.

My greatest concern, coming from Seattle WA., where the people are so friendly, and also having lived in Wisconsin equally as friendly - the south is a mystery to me. For example, if you're southern and came to Wisconsin, no one would care what your affiliations are or religion; but I feel you're immediately branded coming from the North to the South. Why the hatred? Hope someone can tell me I'm wrong because I think Tennessee is a beautiful state.
