Nashville Area-where to live?

[56FordGuy]

For almost 4 years I have cursed the traffic in Orlando.  Little did I know that Nashville is FAR worse. WOW. I got in my rental car yesterday and hit the roads during rush hour. It was miserable. It was bad enough that I really have no desire to ever live or work in the metro area. It wasn't just one or two roads either. Every major road I got on(and the secondary roads) were compete chaos. 

 

I don't know how ya'll keep your sanity there.

 

For nearly ten years I drove around Nashville at all hours of the day (and sometime night) in a service truck out fixing equipment. Nashville traffic can be miserable. If I was south/ southeast of town at the end of the day, it would take me almost two hours to get back to Gallatin regardless of the route I took. 65 North to Vets meant sitting in traffic, basically all the way from Briley to Indian Lake Blvd. 840 to 109 meant sitting in traffic on 109 due to too many cars trying to get down a two lane highway, and then for the last few years the construction has done a number on it. If there's a wreck on the two lane (which happened fairly often), just forget it. Put it in park and maybe take a nap.

Well folks. I'm reminded that all things happen for a reason. I turned down a job offer in Nashville and ended up getting a transfer/promotion with my current company. We will be moving back to Knoxville the end of July! This is where we really wanted to be. The new job is just 10 minutes from my mom's house.

 

I feel blessed.

Don't blame you, I would move from Nashville back to Knoxville in the blink of an eye.  That's the best place (outside of Germany) I've ever had the pleasure of living in.
