I had recently traveled for a year, logged 50,000 miles through 48 states and took 58,000 photos. I knew what parts of the country were best! Tennessee is one of the prettier states in the country, and E. Tenn is the best part of TN. I grew up in the flat lands and I love the scenery and vistas. Knoxville has a good job outlook, between it and Oak Ridge, and the tax climate is good.
