[@bryanblake2896]

[@Bri_g3]

[@abbyc.4215]

@@Bri_g3 Why not?

[@diliaravafina5928]

We are moving from Florida to Franklin soon too. How did you like it so far ?

[@ECUCHRIS904]

Bad move. Prepare to be landlocked and cold.

[@marcospintor1333]

I went there last week for my birthday. I absolutely fell in love with the place. It’s so jolly and adorable

[@LVHmack]

We visited family nearby in Antioch and absolutely fell in love with Franklin. We went there last year during the 4th and it was amazing. Definitely recommend

[@juliethebrat1477]

Moving there from oregon. Don't worry, we're conservative! =D

[@r3tr0actiongamer24]

Then move to the hillbilly areas in the country.

[@pnw_and_palapas]

Good for you! Conservative from WA state here. We're visiting Franklin this fall and it looks lovely.

[@michele2566]

I'm from Wilsonville oregon moving to Franklin too

[@chrnovids]

Im from the UK and I can't wait to visit Franklin when I finally get to Nashville

[@amasworld7126]

How was it?

[@everydayelizabeth1181]

What a fantastic video!!

[@NAPSNICKY]

I live in Nashville now. Love to see my hometown of Fishers, IN make it as the #1 place to live in America 🤠 (0:53) !

[@r3o97]

I used to live in Franklin for five years i loved it there! This brought so many memories back…

[@tonylackey2034]

We are about to check out this town and appreciate the information.

[@danistyles85]

Awesome video! Can’t wait to visit 👍👍

[@MaryCaldeezy]

Moving there from CA

[@JonKurozawa]

Thank you for all the great suggestions

[@madiantin]

Those Tiny Little Donuts are expensive, but holy cow, soooo good! They're a once-in-a-while treat. You've got to get there early though; they're only open til they're sold out, and not necessarily every day of the week. The glazed with sprinkles are the way to go for sure. The whole historic downtown area is an awesome place to get memorabilia - and White's is a great place to look. In Kilwins, near Whites, you can get amazing chocolate, fudge, ice cream etc. It's so good! The Farmer's Market at the Factory on Saturday mornings is a great place to visit, and Five Daughters is So. Dang. Good. There are various festivals which are fun to visit in Franklin. Off the top of my head there's one in April, July, and at Christmas...pretty sure there's more though. There's also the Pilgrimage festival - I think that's what it's called? It's a big Christian music festival at Harlinsdale Farm, opposite the Factory. Pucketts and Meridees in Downtown Franklin are good places to eat too.

[@michellemarie1197]

I'd love to see a video on Mackinac island in Michigan!

[@timbim5505]

What a beautiful place I definitely want to visit

[@helgabullabong]

Love Tennessee and have been numerous times to different ares. Franklin is already on my bucket list, so this was awesome. Love the architecture. Cheers

[@ChadGallivanter]

You’d love Franklin! If we ever moved back to TN, this part of the state would be my first choice.

[@3generationadventure]

Im looking for information for Franklin because we are planning visiting in January, and boom i found your video, its fantastic tons good stuff, thanks again 🙏

[@kevinblack6365]

Here because I had to show my friends the town I got lost in my 18 at 😂😂 wrong turns really mess you up.

[@blautens]

Another well produced video - unclear on why these don't get more views.

[@marckemp9955]

It's nowhere near my top 10 places to live. There's not enough medicine...

[@hsun3914]

Where do they live?

[@69redskins69]

Are there Townhouses to rent in Franklin? Gonna move to the Franklin area and want to rent first before we buy.

[@arlenegonzalez9214]

You and I both.Want my husband and I to move there.Went in April to visit.Fell in love.🌻

[@madiantin]

There are, but they're few and far between and super expensive. Franklin home (and rental) prices have skyrocketed in the past couple of years. Houses are selling for 50 and 60k above asking.

[@octoberdawn1087]

It's not easy. We can't even move. We bought our condo at the beginning of everything getting destroyed and but and it's not worth even half of what they're claiming for property tax purposes. It's falling apart, the plumbing is collapsing, and a lot of the old places here are like this.. and also, it takes an hour just to drive a mile up the road. It used to be a nice place but it's just not anymore. I'm just being honest. We would move if we could afford it but we can't we feel trapped.

[@DicksonkDickson]

Good video. As a resident I can say it overrated. Good place to visit though.

[@gregandelsiemitchell4868]

Is this town we’re Grace Christian Academy and Aaron Solomon weren’t investigated when his daughter accused him of sa and his son wound up dead after being with his father?

[@michele2566]

What about homeless people on the streets? Or drunk methed out homeless ppl begging for money. Any of this going on

[@brendacrutcher2237]

We are talking about FRANKLIN right this is not NASHVILLE . Very clean .

[@cindyrolle6476]

Put a black solider’s statue next to that damn confederate statue. Now that’s progress.

[@madiantin]

RIGHT??? They did recently put up a statue ....but it's not on the roundabout, it's on the sidewalk opposite next to Mellow Mushroom. Can't believe it took so long to even put up that memorial!

[@abbyc.4215]

I agree!

[@dainejir661]

The food is absolutely terrible.

[@smilingsince87]

Visited 8/27/22 definitely got many many stares, not in a good way. People weren’t friendly, as we walked around some even stopped their conversations to stare us down. Definitely did not feel welcomed. This is the type of place that isn’t too found of outsiders who aren’t conservative. You can tell that the residents there are probably the type who don’t have exposure to other cultures/races and most likely don’t care to. Seems like the history they share is only sided.

[@ECUCHRIS904]

I thought it was too liberal and moved to Florida.

[@MrBiggie7979]

Outside with a mask ok…..🙄

[@tb291]

It's not on your face. Why are you so annoyed 😂😂😂

[@beefquiche]

​@@tb291because you're keeping the drama alive. enough already.
