I would have thought yours would be a Grand Torino.

Can't blame these people for leaving Cali, but theres a reason it's so awesome to live here besides just the natural beauty from God. These people need to embrace what we have and remember what they are leaving. You know if enough outsiders get in, it can start changing election outcomes and they have been indoctrinating the kids for years. I have some hard core God fearing back wood farm family and some of their 20 something year old daughters are nothing like All the previous generations.

To answer the original question though. Look for Rural areas in East Tn, There are still some great places, but seems like all land and houses have skyrocketed due to the influx of Northerners and Californians.

I used to think Maryville was really a place i'd like to live 20 years ago and i'm not hating on the place now, but it's unbelievable how much it's grown. Can't even get in the Lee's Chicken parking lot anymore lol. Well that's always been like that from time to time lol

Yes it's awesome in Jefferson County, but more and more farms are disappearing and being replaced with Subdivisions. In Dandridge the people from up north are buying up the lakefront properties without even actually seeing them. You can notice a change in the people in the grocery stores already. Also, don't get as many of the hey buddy waves as you used to going down the road. You are very right though, there's still a ton of wide open spaces in places like new market and stuff, but for how long?

What always gets me is when people have tires (pronounced tars in the south) for sale and they say how much thread is left instead of tread. Maybe it's an autocorrect thing but I see it alot.

I will keep Sarah and you alls families in my nightly prayers i do with my daughters.

Amen to that. What a relief for the both of you all. Prayers for a speedy recovery.

It was a dimly lit steakhouse and each table had those flickering lights on the wall at each booth. They had charbroiled steaks and burgers and such. It may still be around, not sure it's anything like it used to be.

We had Western Sizzlin restaurants in the mid 80s that had those inside but it was a stand alone building, not at a mall.

I agree, i am close too and the place is a joke really. I also heard they are going to charge to park in the national park area soon. The history and the mountains are beautiful but all the crap along the way is just too much. Good revenue for sevier county but i'm not a fan of all of it. Also if you go to a car show up there, be prepared to sit in 3 hours of traffic and they are nothing like they used to be.

I never got to know my grandfather's but can for sure understand the sentimentality of it. I do however own a 1999 and a 2000 Silverado and they are great trucks. The other day I saw the old guy in the neighborhood having his roughly 2000 GMC Sierra model 4x4 towed away and it's never came back, I would have loved to had that one too. Probably didn't get much for it.
