Tennessee is one of the most beautiful states in the country, both aesthetically and in the hearts of the people who live here. Traveling from the west across Tennessee, you’ll find yourself immersed in serene landscapes, winding through green rolling hills and striking valleys until you reach the Great Smoky Mountains. It truly is a remarkable sight.
Tennessee is also unique for being the only state which is historically “divided” into three sections—West Tennessee, Middle Tennessee and East Tennessee, each proudly claiming to be the heart of the state, and each one as important as its “competitors.” It’s not really a competition, though, because most Tennesseans love every piece of their state, for there is much here to love and be proud of.
However, there are elements of living here which may not be ideal for permanent residency. Let’s look at some pros and cons of living in Tennessee. If by the end of this journey you’d rather pass through instead of stick around, y’all be sure to at least come down for dinner and some sweet iced tea at one of the many eateries across the state. It doesn’t matter which one you stop by; they’ll all make you feel welcome and right at home. It’s the Southern way.
Since the Tri-Star state is divided into three sections, we are going to work our way from West to East, taking a look at what each section has to offer in good food (everything starts with good food), things to do, local economy and the quality of life for residents.
