Okay, I am from TN.  I can tell you there is good and bad here.  First off, if you visited/lived here, stay away from every place but Nashville.  There is so much ignorance in some parts of TN that it often makes me ashamed.  True, there's bad apples in Nashville too, but there's also some genuinely cool people.  There's a fantastic artistic/indy rock community that is so fun to be around.  You also have a good mix of city and country life right around Nashville too.  You can have land  and privacy but at the same time be close to a busy city.  The city itself is clean compared to most, and there's tons to do...bars, clubs., nice restaurants, museums, fantastic symphony, parks, etc.  People here have southern charm without being so redneck that it drives you crazy.  But keep in mind, that's SOME people.  There's crowds I would avoid, but that's true for any city.\n\nEconomically speaking, there is no income tax, so that's a plus. Property taxes are relatively low too.  There is a higher sales tax, however...8.25% on food items and 9.25% on other things.  Still, having no income tax more than makes up for that. There's also lots of career opportunities, with business and factories moving here every year (mainly because of low taxes).  \n\nThat's my summary of my home state.  Yeah, I have lots of issues with it at times, but overall, I can't think of a more well-rounded, safer place to be.

Go Gators!!! I'm biased. I have to respect the Lady Vols, though. Pat Summitt has more wins than ANY college basketball coach--men's or women's. She passed Dean Smith during the tournament last year.

I was raised in Nashville.  I still live in middle Tennessee, but now I’m about 70 miles from Nashville.\n\nIt does get pretty humid at times here in middle Tennessee.  There are some days that seem almost intolerable, but mostly it’s hardly noticeable, especially once you get acclimated.  As far as how long it would take a person to get accustomed to this humid climate, I can’t tell you, because I’ve always been here.  In so far as the bugs and snakes are concerned, I would think that they are no more copious or intrusive then any other place.  The only “natural disasters” that would occur in this area come from the storms that we have occasionally.  Damage could come from hail, lightning or tornados.\n\nA good place to set up residence outside of Nashville is in Wilson County.  It’s just East of Nashville on Interstate 40 and includes the towns of Mt Juliet and Lebanon.  Lebanon is about 20 miles from Nashville.\n\nI hope this has been helpful.

Well Sweety, we're not all bad here. In fact, we're generally pretty friendly. I'm in Houston and I'm not thrilled with San Antonio but don't slam the whole state. We're not all the same. If you need someone to talk to, my email is rilti8@sbcglobal.net. I make a pretty good friend, I think. In fact, you can always find a friend here on Yahoo Answers. Folks on this site are the best no matter where they're from. I love the people here. They're so supportive and kind. You have a few here and there that can be mean and yes, I too can be a bit#h from hell if someone pushes by bit#h-buttons but for the most part, most everyone here are caring and wondering people, even if some of us are native Texans like me. If you need a friend, I'm here for you.

It depends on whether or not they beat Tennessee (which I don't thik will happen). If they win, they could end up in the Liberty or Peach(Chik-Fil-A). A loss will put them in the Music City Bowl again.

My issue Dd is, I would like to know who these 35 out of every 100 Americans are. Do these people not live in the same world as the rest of us? I would even argue these are the same sort of people who go and listen to Ted Haggard.

I went to Harpeth Hall with Reese Witherspoon in Nashville, TN. I'm bestfriends with her brother John(we call him Spoon) and his wife Jenny(who went to Hillsboro High in Nashville). I also know Shelton Williams(Hank, Jr. III). He went to Franklin High School in Frankin, TN. He is in the 1990 yearbook fighting with Rob Galbreath. No one won because the cops came. My great uncle, Gorden Stoker, was a back up singer for Elvis(the Jordanaires). I have plenty of pictures. I am also related to Amy Grant. She is my cousin by marriage. My mom grew up next door to the Grant's in Nashville and we still see Dr. and Mrs. Grant in Destin,Fl where they have a condo(have pics of our families together). I also know Keith Urban.My good friend Lou, use to live with him when he first came to Nashville and wasn't too famous. I have pictures of us partying at Tootsie's, in downtown Nashville,for Lou's birthday in October of 2003. I know more,but I'm tired of typing. It pays to grow up in Nashville!!

I live in TN and I'm for him. I voted straight democrat. It's annoying how often the rest of the nation pins us all as religious right radicals. Last year about 40-30% voted for kerry and like 45% for gore.

Yes, I know how you feel I'm from Michigan and I moved to Florida Last year I HATE IT people down here still think the war of north and south is still going on. It pisses me off when they call me a Yankee I mean get over the Yankee thing. All I see down here is pill popping and meth users every where in the town I live in. So Meany people down here are so uneducated I go to college and when I say that they look at me like they cant believe some that lives in town is doing something with their life and everything is backwards here. I mean i haven't meet anyone that is doing something with their life. Thank god I'm moving in two days and getting around maybe some normal people. So i know how you feel.
