I love love love Tennessee. I'm a Chicago gal born and raised. My grandfather lived in Chattanooga so my family and I would visit twice a year and drop by Gatlinburg. We went to memphis, Graceland and Knoxville, you name it. Now my husband and I didnt have too much money for our honeymoon. He mentioned how he had never been to Tennessee so we went to Chattanooga for our honeymoon and drove down, we hit Nashville GRIDLOCK. Like I've never seen that bad. We moved like an inch every couple of minutes. It took over an hour to get out. But I would still love to retire one day down in Tennessee, beautiful weather and the loveliest people you could ever meet!

[@AdamSmith-gs2dv]

1. Don't skip Chattanooga. It's very underrated 2. Be VERY careful in Memphis, Memphis is not a city that you can just walk around, it's very easy to end up in a dangerous area 3. Don't panic if you see someone carrying firearms, that is perfectly legal in Tennessee

[@micheledeetlefs6041]

Please let a 50-year-old Tennessean who is also the daughter, goddaughter, niece and cousin to police officers second this. Memphis is frequently ranked as the most dangerous city in America. A lot of Southerners call it the Detroit of the South. It's impoverished and crime is extraordinarily high. Even if you were there in daylight and in a crowd, please keep an eye out. Nobody should have to suffer a crime when they're just here to enjoy a city. And tragically downtown Nashville has become very similar to Memphis as far as crime goes, not because it is impoverished, but because we have a lot of foreign tourists who simply can't stick around press charges. Again, no matter what time of the day you are there, please keep a good eye out. No matter how much I,as a native Nashvillian, complain about tourists, I don't want anyone to get hurt just trying to enjoy the city.

[@Innovaripper]

Let's be honest. Don't be an easy target in Memphis. I lived here my whole life and never had an issue. But I'm a memphian. If you ain't from here please don't think you can do whatever you want cause you can't. Someone will take all your excitement and maybe more if you do.

[@CosmicRanger-xg7cz]

Don't forget there was a shooting in Chattanooga near a bar.

[@RitaHerrmann]

Was raised in Tennessee, and yes, driving across the state is a long commitment! Although I-40 is the fastest route from end to end, if you have the time, take Highway 64 across the southern part of the state. It is one of the prettiest drives through old farm country that takes you through every quaint county seat along the southern border. You won't make any time, but you will be so captivated by the beautiful scenery you won't care about time. 🙂

[@donaldlewis567]

I so enjoyed this video about my beloved Tennessee. As a middle Tennessean, I am painfully aware that Nashville has become the hub of the universe. It was once a sweet, fun, small city to maneuver around and in. Not so much, anymore. So sad to watch Nashville become the next Atlanta. Breaks our hearts that its character and flavor is fading due to growth and over population. You are absolutely right...the infrastructure cannot keep up with the rate of folks moving here. Sure wish there were a way to slow it down; Nashville is being loved to death.

[@micheledeetlefs6041]

I'm a lifelong Nashvillian and I think I'd actually take Atlanta over Nashville currently. At least in Atlanta you don't witness drunk British tourists pissing in planters because they don't realize that bathrooms are free in the US, or run the risk of having your car damaged when a drunken member from a bridal shower falls off one of the party buses and lands on your roof. Both of which are actually things you see in Nashville nowadays.

I have lived in East Tennessee my entire life. I am so glad you brought up the driving. I have literally driven across the country and back. I know plenty of people that have not been too far out of this area. It is always hard to explain how different people drive in this area. It kills me anytime I have to get on the interstate and go to Knoxville.

[@yulbrenner]

[@TylerCoolGuy88]

I was just in Tennessee a few days ago. I was mainly in Eastside if the state. But I definitely agree that Pigeon Forge is very busy in the summer. But it also a great year round destination, along with many Smokey mountains activities. Also don’t skip Dollywood as great place to go to and there something for everyone there.

[@micheledeetlefs6041]

If you're someone that wants the mountains but doesn't like the crowds, consider Townsend, Tennessee. It's big enough to have the sort of things tourists seem like, such as cabins, walking and biking trails, and nice little restaurants. But it's nowhere near as big and as flashy. Just know it's more suited to the couple than to the family, since there's far more things for a family to do in the Gatlinburg area then there are in Townsend.

Watch for motorcycles. Tennessee has some of the most famous roads in America for beautiful motorcycle rides, so there are lots of motorcyclists here (and most are very friendly). Just remember that 2 wheel riding is different from cars, and give extra room, especially on curvy sections and scraped asphalt.

[@nerysghemor5781]

A few more tips as someone currently living in TN. 1) We get bad weather in the winter sometimes but in most parts of the state we can’t clean the snow or ice off the roads. Don’t get caught driving in it if you are uncomfortable AT ALL driving on an unplowed road. 2) Spring and fall are not nice, gradual warming or cooling seasons. The jet stream constantly plays double Dutch over the state, meaning the temperatures whipsaw back and forth VERY erratically, so check the forecast right before leaving as you may need to prepare for multiple seasons for a one-week period. 😂 3) Summers. Hot and humid. But if you think that’s bad in Nashville just wait till you hit Memphis. Memphis is literally not even in the same climate/plant hardiness zone as the rest of the state. 4) Memphis: Yes, we all know Memphis has crime, poverty, awful drivers, etc. But only Memphians are allowed to dump on Memphis. Don’t even do it if you’re from Nashville. 5) If you’re seeing Tennesseans drive like NASCAR drivers, though, odds are they are indeed from Memphis. 😂 And remember that unlike the other cities in the state, Memphians will not hesitate to pass you on the right. If you live in the area it’s normal and you don’t even blink but if you’re not expecting it you could have a wreck. (I have to really watch this habit when not in the Memphis area.) 6) There IS something way worse than Tennessee drivers while in Tennessee. And that is TEXAS DRIVERS. 😂 If I have someone riding my butt in a giant pickup or SUV in Tennessee while I’m already well over the speed limit, odds are it’s a Texan. (If it’s a total beater of a vehicle or it’s a Mustang, Impala, or Charger, it’s probably a Memphian. 😂) 7) THE RENDEZVOUS IS A TOURIST TRAP. Any local will tell you that. Better to go to Central Barbecue or the Germantown or Collierville Commissary.

[@woltersworld]

So true. On the upper and lower limit as well in that left lane 😞

[@micheledeetlefs6041]

@@woltersworld Tennessee actually has a state law that requires slower traffic to stay in the left lane. So that's why you always have people on the left lane going 55 mph and a 65 mi zone. Add to that the fact that roads, highways, and interstates in Tennessee can change speeds without any warning, leading a lot of people to stay in the left lane because they have no earthly idea what the speed limit is, and that probably explains why you see people in the left lane going at a snail's pace. Except for trucks. Especially dump trucks. They might only be able to physically get to 45 mph, and they might be on a section of road that specifically says trucks have to stay in the left hand lane, but I guarantee you they're going to be in the right lines. Especially if crap's coming off their load.

I've lived here for over 40 yrs. There's so many small towns and parks that he never mentions that are not crowded. The Appalachian Trail is in the Northeast Tennessee east of Knoxville and beautiful farmland in Northwest Tennessee plus a lake that was formed when the Mississippi River flowed backwards during an earthquake. In my little corner of Northeast Tennessee I have never been able to make it to all the festivals. It's a great state with so much to do. Come and visit and if you decide to stay there is no state income tax.

So true. Too much to mention in a 13 minute segment.

Tennessee doesn’t stop at pigeon Forge. Why doesn’t anyone talk about the 100 miles of Tennessee east of Knoxville?? Bristol,Johnson city , Jonesborough the oldest town in Tennessee. Greeneville the birthplace of Andrew Johnson etc.

Middle TN is NOT flat. That's West TN.
