Knoxville, TN
Big City Problems, Small Town Amenities -
8/24/2020I have lived many places in the US and can look back on all of them with fond memories. Sadly the same cannot be said for Knoxville. The city lacks culture with no decent local restaurants. The people are xenophobic and cliquish. I often was made fun of for being from somewhere else.
Downtown is a wasteland with restaurants that locals talk about but the food lacks quality and the atmosphere appears sanitized and as if being set up as a test market for a new chain with frozen menu items that are nuked in the back. The parks and greenways are nice if you would like to encounter the cities homeless community or get robbed.
My list could go on. Overall would find somewhere else to live. Cannot really find any positives about the area.
