Wonderful city grew up here
The people here are wonderful maybe a little different but the world wouldn't be the world if it was all the same. The transportation is ok although I have only rode it once and i didnt grow up here nor am i from here. I grew up in New York.As for the community i know very little. Moving forward the care the tennesseeans show is surprising. My wife and I, at the time she was pregnant. They told us they paid for our meal and I was shocked because where I'm from(NY) nothing has ever happened that to my wife nor I. This took me for a spin because I thought it was a trick. Yet the old man his name was James, "he told me to pay it forward". I didn't know what that meant so when I left I looked it up. Come to find out it's a movie. Long story short i watched the movie and understood the mission. Since then I have done many good deeds i am proud of. That opened up a different mindset in my head about life.
Community is quiet, peaceful, and have quite a few senior citizens who can be seen walking in the evenings.
Nice generally quiet neighborhood.
Walmart family dollar close by. Even Aldi
Easy access to I24 and I75 very safe and neighbors watch after each other
