For those of you on the fence about moving. I live in east TN in a valley between about 5 mountains.
People here are old school. We don’t talk like you because the mountain ranges cut us off from a lot of the interaction back when language was evolving. People from VA and W VA will understand what I mean. But a lot of people like the Appalachian accent lol
You’ll meet some of the friendliest people here. People do like to get bloody every now and then but only for a good reason and then we shake hands when it’s over.
Don’t be surprised if you meet some girl with freckles who is always barefoot and teaches you where to find ginseng plants lol
We can smell when it’s going to rain and can tell you what sound any animal makes. Right now they have a lot of tourists believing that Tennessee has feral cannibals living in the mountains. It’s just stories made up by moonshiners to keep their stills safe. They’re posting videos about hearing women scream in the woods, but it’s most likely they went on vacation in Pigeon Forge and happened to hear a Bobcat.
I highly recommend at least visiting for a year or two. Mountain living can teach you quite a bit that you wouldn’t expect. It’s a beautiful place with beautiful people and you pedes are welcome ?
Great comment...that “woman-scream sound” may be a bobcat...& maybe not? 😂👍🏽 (Heard it here too). I love the owls calling across the lake...
It’ll scare the shit out of you the first time you hear it 😂 It did me anyway. Camping as a little kid
