Review of Knoxville, Tennessee
Eastern Tennessee - Where Friendly Folks Live
-
1/1/2019
Five Stars for Knoxville!!!Although I was born and raised in Eastern Tennessee, I have lived all over the United States; Palm Desert CA for 10 years - Belleair Beach, FL for 8 years - Highland Park, TX (suburb of Dallas) for 8 years and a few other cities. I recently moved back to East Tennessee. (6 years ago) I bought a beautiful home on Manor Road. One thing I really missed, while living in California Florida and Texas, was friendly people. Here in Eastern Tennessee; Rich, poor, black, white, gay, straight, redneck or white collar...everyone’s friendly. If you can’t make friends here, something’s wrong with YOU! You might just be one of those people that even Jesus Christ couldn’t please! I love being back in Eastern Tennessee. My parents who are elderly, have lived in the Sequoyah Hills neighborhood for 56 years. I was raised by proper SOUTHERN parents who taught us (my brother and I) at an early age to speak to everyone. Tennessee is so friendly. I can’t stress that enough. Anyone who says that the mountains aren’t friendly, they have issues that have nothing to do with Eastern Tennessee.
