.... drive into the Smoky...
by KathyW
.... drive into the Smoky Mountains, get out of your car and go for a hike. Try to approach through Townsend (Hwy 321) or from North Carolina. The normal approach through Sevierville, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg can be frightening! A tourist haven! I have made the Knoxville area my home since I finished college. I have had career opportunities to leave and have chosen to stay. This is a wonderful place to live-- a city that's large enough to offer a variety of activities and culture, yet small enough that you feel at home. The cost of living is reasonable and it's a safe place to raise a family. The climate is great-- four distinct seasons... a very mild winter and a fantastic spring and fall.
