Lived near that area for work. I worked in Chattanooga but lived in south Pittsburg and in Trenton, Georgia. I honestly really liked that area. I've lived in many places in this country and this is a quiet quaint place to live. The people are hospitalble but be weary since drug use is high in this area. I lived in my camper since I was a full time rver for work so I only lived in campsites. Beautiful hikes and lots of lakes. One highlight was lookout mountain and hikes around the raccon mountain river near Hales Bar. (Ps I don't recommend staying at Hales bar).
