    Tennessee

    Tennessee is the greatest state in the Union. Just thought everyone should know that

    "Those who produce should have, but we know that those who produce the most — that is, those who work hardest, and at the most difficult and most menial tasks, have the least."
    - Eugene V. Debs (1855-1926), five-time Socialist Party candidate for U.S. President

It's all forest, and what isn't forest is rolling farmland. It rains often, which makes everything look crisp and bright green.

    Memphis actually kinda sucks. Yeah, it's got the music and BBQ, but it's also got ridiculous amounts of racial division. Go to visit, but don't go to live. If you want to live in Tennessee, East Tennessee is the place to be. Knoxville, Chattanooga, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park

    Texas is the weak little kid that puffs himself up to make himself look bigger and stronger than he actually is. It's a defense mechanism. Our governor does not have to go begging businesses from other states to relocate to Tennessee.

    I've been there. Memphis is a big city, but in a country way.

    I liked Knoxville. Had a bad alternator driving east on I40 so I stopped in Knoxville to find a parts store. No one was open, as it was Sunday morning. I found an old gas station and garage that was open. The owner said he was only open for gas, but that he'd look at my truck anayway. We started talking trucks, and he wound up removing and replacing it FOR me! One of the nicest ol' guy's I ever met. I made sure I paid him a little extra for the help even when he refused to charge me for labor....
