Very informative!

Easier to follow if you use town names and not county names as I got lost 😮

Oh how depressing looking. The theatre sign & theatre are beautiful. Thank God they didn't get rid of it. Does anyone know how far the next town is that has a town square that isn't spread out & cold looking? There's no one walking. 'It;'s all cars & box stores around it seems

We have enough people! Stay in your state! They have ruined cookeville and surrounding communities to many people!!!

If you’re a liberal or progressive, stay where you are, we don’t like your kind

Tennessee has started having trouble with all the new people. There was a stabbing in a campground by people who are from out side. And yes we do get snow, we got about 12 inches a few years ago.

I would also add that this is not a great place to live as a minority. I can't even begin to describe how my minority status negatively affected many aspects of my life growing up there. Diversity is hugely lacking- Diversity not only in race, but in culture and world views. Also, though, once you get old enough to have mental integrity and be able to shrug it off, it's not bad enough to significantly impact your life. Certainly not bad when you compare it to gang related activities of city life. Also, I can verify your statement regarding cost of living. The home I live in now costs the equivalent to maybe 10 homes in Cumberland County. That said, my career could never flourish there either- so I had to leave.

Hi I need a peace of land owner financial!!! Let me know please

I remember the original skating rink. It was terrifying for a young kid. It was small and the hardwood floor was all warped and we were learning to skate. It was full of people and if you fell, you were getting run over - no doubt about it. Ben Franklin and Lays 5 & 10 (5 and dime) were our favorites when we were kids. My dad would take us to eat breakfast at Rexall drugs which I don't think she mentioned. We would always get waffles because we never had those at home. She probably didn't know about Maude's restaurant either. Who remember's Maude's??? Tiny little place with a concrete floor, but the best food and THE BEST rolls. Yum! I think the building is still there - no idea what is in it. I remember standing around the memorial and marching and playing in the freezing rain, snow, etc. It seemed like it was awful terrible weather for Veterans day. I think most of us kids hated that day more than anything. We just didn't understand the significance of it and the bad weather always made it so much worse.

Excellent tour. Thanks. My memories of Main Street include Post Office, Jenkins & Darwin, Brewer's, Dooley's Grocery, Hale's Grocery, Lay's 5*10, train Depot, My Barber Shop, many more. Anyone else recall these? Crossville my hometown, though I left in 1979.

Thank you. I miss visiting Crossville

Nice tour of downtown - great job, Sheryl!

Left out one piece of information about Crossville. It’s still considered a sundown town. So if you’re a minority be aware that open racism is rampant in Crossville. They still have kkk rally’s. So if you’re looking for a small town feel with a splash of racism then Crossville will give you that small town pre civil rights act feel you’re looking for. It’s a shame that in 2024 we still have sundown towns. It’s an embarrassment to our country.

We're eyeing this place for our move next year trying to get closer to home

We've been treated very poorly since moving here and told repeatedly to "go back where you came from". The woefully bad employment and low wages are shameful. Combined with the housing shortage, it has caused an abundance of problems with homelessness and drug addiction. I think Crossville should continue to be sold as a retirement community for people who possess the funds to live comfortably without having to work. But this is not the place for working couples or those with young kids. There are not opportunities for growth or prosperity here, nor are there ample youth programs to keep kids thriving and out of trouble. The number of people who smoke, panhandle, abuse animals, and cut you off in traffic is astounding. Many people choose to live in squalor and most of the county commissioners like it that way, even if they speak a different story. Many want this community to remain lost in time and resent anyone coming in as an "outsider" trying to change things, even when those changes are advantageous to the citizens. I will miss the beauty of the mountains and my quiet acreage, but the southern hospitality has been a myth and much more hostile than welcoming. I pray for the locals who embrace living like this and hope they find happiness, but it will be without my family's contributions. I look forward to returning to my hometown where we embrace and invest in newcomers.

One big reason not to move to Crossville is the dang traffic. Where have these people come from?

I’m a new subscriber. Love the videos and hope to see more. Seriously considering a move to crossville or cookeville next summer.

You hit the nail on the head! If I was younger, I would pick Cookeville. I ended up choosing Crossville because it has a smaller town feel, less traffic, cooler weather/less humidity, and way less tornados.

Does anyone have any information about Lake Breckenridge and why it did not take off like Lake Tansi, which is about minutes away? I believe they were by the same developer.

Show us th3 downtown M mall and shopping.

Crossville is such an underrated part of East Tennessee.

Not sure if I’d agree with your traffic assessment. Of course there’s not much traffic compared with a big city but for a town this size there is more traffic than one might expect. Great video! We’re certainly happy to be here! 😃

Yes it does get cold here always has.

Don't move here. It's been overrun by people from other states and people who don't live here renting their property out to druggies and illegals. Crime has skyrocketed, traffic is horrible, and the good-natured, polite southerners who grew up here are outnumbered. Traitors keep moving here claiming they don't vote blue, but our once great state is being taken over by the blue disease.

What is your contact information, maybe you can help me

What is the cost of living in Crossville TN

Good information!

Does crossville have its own airport? I know a family who are moving to Crossville and I would love to visit them once they get settle in.

Great video Sheryl! My wife and I absolutely LOVE Lake Tansi. We currently have two properties for sale in the Holliday Out RV Park. One is basically a tiny home and the other a park model rv. Both are on huge beautiful lots, walking distance to the private beach and docks. Keep making great content like this! God bless!

No state income tax.

Tennessee is being destroyed. There are simply too many people moving here!

Awesome

Top Reason you forgot: Buckees!! How the fuck did you miss the top draw of living in Crossville.

350k from 300 in one year ;-0

# 999 x 999 x 999.

We visited Crossville several times. It's beautiful

Good video, thank you

I grew up on the Midwest so tornadoes is nothing live in Kentucky now but would move to Tennessee

I would, but 10% sales tax on everything BS. Try Montana, still Trump and Gods country and no sales tax on anything.

I moved here 9 years ago and I love it hear, I love Tennessee and I love Crossville, it is a perfect fit for my values and Conservative life style, .

THATS IT IM MOVING TO TENNESSEE !!! LOL !!!! I LOVE CONSERVATIVES AND IM EVEN FROM PORTLAND OREGON !!!! TRUMP 2024 !!!!!

I've been in two and it was awful!!! Sounds like a train about to hit and it's VERY scary!!! It's no joke!

Been there done that couldn't make a nickel

Don't let this woman scam you. Taxes ARE lower here right now but they are about to rise dramatically. They are trying to push through a recreation center build with indoor and outdoor swimming pools that will cost over $65,000,000. One way they are thinking about financing is to partner with the Y. Do you like the food where you live? None of that stuff down here. And listen to me I AM A CROSSVILLE RESIDENT. There are plenty of good people here just don't turn your back on them. DO NOT TRUST THE REALTORS OR ESPECIALLY DO NOT TRUST THE BUILDERS. THIS IS A "GOOD OLE BOY" AREA SO "BUYER BEWARE".

Ever heard of brekenridge campgrounds? I'm moving there in a few days.

I cant wait to move there♡♡♡

Nashville??? Everyone and everything else is there. 😂😂

I've been to Crossville several times. A friend lives there, I live in upstate NY. Trying to move, it's not easy though. God bless.
