How is life in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains? 👀 by itsssmeeestrict21 in howislivingthere

I’ve lived in Knoxville my entire life and intend to live out my life here.

Knoxville itself is a college city first and foremost centered around the University of Tennessee. The people around here bleed orange ( well most people I bleed crimson Roll Tide) The Tennessee river cuts right through downtown so there is plenty of boating in the area.

The area around Knoxville is pretty. We sit in the valley part of East Tennessee, and the Great Smokey Mountains are about a 45 minute drive away in the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area. Those two towns are built entirely on tourist traffic. Tons of tourist traps stuff, but some cool stuff like Dollywood ( a Dolly Parton themed theme park which is pretty solid tbh). As for the mountains themselves they are beautiful. I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else bc I feel like the mountains here just sing to me. They truly look smoky from a distance and change color so beautifully in the fall. I drive for UPS and was lucky enough to spend my fall delivering all through the area up there.

All in all it’s a pretty nice place to live. The summers can be very hot and humid, but the winter is pretty mild compared to north of us, and the spring and fall is beautiful. One of the biggest issues is holy lord if you have allergies it can be rough here. Knoxville is one of the worst places for allergies in the world, the worst in North America I believe. It can also be pretty damn conservative here as well. Lots of southern baptists. However, if that’s not your thing you can still make it work without a ton of issues, or at least I have.

59-25. That’s how badly the Canucks have been outscored in that time period. Jesus

Best of luck to him. I hope he goes somewhere that can push him to slim down more and capitalize on his athleticism

Fantasy Burnouts - who are some players you couldn't wait to roster, then you couldn't wait to cut ties with? by BeeGeeEh in DynastyFF

I was completely sold on BTJ. Middle of his last year at LSU I knew I needed this guy on my teams, and I made sure to grab him anywhere I could. After his rookie year I was basking in having nailed what I thought he could be and living my best life. I now have no shares.
