I grew up in Knoxville and lived there for 22 years. It is a nice city....not too big, not too small. You have the University of Tennessee there, so the downtown area has somewhat of a college-town feel to it, and there are obviously a ton of Vols fans. The Rush pretty much has a monopoly on the gyms in Knoxville, but its a cool place...I never had any complaints about it. Do you know what area of Knoxville your job would be in? Knoxville itself isn't very redneck in my opinion, but a lot of the areas surrounding it are a different story.
I'm hearing a lot of people tell me that Knoxville is all the way redneck. Is this true?
It's strange, some people say that Knoxville is hip and interesting and exciting. Some people say it's very backwards and redneck and hick. What's the truth?
I guess I gotta just go see for myself someday.
I don't know which area i'll be living in yet. But since it's a small city I'd guess every area is similar.
I don't need luxery and awesome stuff to do everywhere. I'll be happy to live in a little place with fresh air and a garden in the back (or in my closet

)
Are there a lot of stoners in Knoxville? What's the weed and drug situation like? Easy to get good buds?
