Knoxville, Tennessee

Submitted by Krystyn

Knoxville is a college town-home to The University of Tennessee. For the younger crown, there is a great restaurant/bar strip near the university. Within an hours drive you can visit Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and the Smoky Mountains. There are more than 173,000 people living in Knoxville. The weather is great here-not too cold, not too hot. The Fall is beautiful up in the mountains!

Knoxville, Tennessee

Submitted by Rhiannon Coulombe

Well, to be honest, my hometown is Nashville, TN, though i've been stationed in Knoxville, Tn for the past 2 and a half years.
Knoxville is about 45 minutes from the Smokey Mountains National Park (the most visited national park in the states.)
I am somewhat familiar by now with the mountain area, and the Knoxville area. I am a music major, in guitar performance to be exact, and enjoy lots of music that is full of feeling and tales. Such as Elliott Smith, M.Ward, Jeff Buckley, The Pumpkins, blah blah blah!!!!
Anyway, i have had a similar dream as you since i was a bout 12 years old, and i've yet to make it as far as you. (I am determined to be in your shoes before too long.
What you've accomplished is very inspiring, and my friend Matt and myself would be more than happy to host your stay in our town.
We have a diverse group of friends (who all happen to be in the restaurant business) and all have an appreciation for the arts, creativity, and are terribly interested in things that are out of the norm.
It's not an extremely large town (the third largest in TN behind Nashville and Memphis.) Knoxville was the site of the Worlds Fair Park in 1982, and the only region in Tn that was pro-north during the civil war. We hold the University of TN and recently the arts have begun to conquer our downtown area (bringing in some interesting restaurants, venues, and even just buildings!!!)
Around here we go to shows when getting out of work allows, much of us are in school still, or again, are in our twenties, we many times just have house get togethers with bon fires and lots of fun indie music and classic rock records.
I hope this has been somewhat convincing to you. We love to share what we have to offer. I have a spare bedroom in my house with 2 other roommates, it has a queen size mattress on the floor!!! or one of the three really clean and comfy couches in the living room area. Oh, and a beautiful Cat named Corah Jones. She's a dark grey tabby with a white chin. So entirely friendly, and she'll talk to you to!!
Anyway, hope you're travels are going awesome. . maybe we'll see you soon!!

NASHVILLE, Tennessee

Submitted by Laura Henry

What can I say? It's the Athens of the south, my hometown and favorite town to be in! Go 30 minutes outside the city, and you're in the true deep south, but in the city it's self, all you'd expect from a larger city....but with the comforts of a SOUTHERN town! Cruise up and down broadway and check out the local acts at one of the many small bars, but expect to be greeted by everyone you don't know as if they're your best friends! Centennial park is not to be missed, with our replica of the Parthenon and the statue of Athena. Also not to be missed is Silverado's Dance Hall (if you want to go to a real country club!) Taking a quote from a Rodney Atkins song....."If you're wonderin where I'll be, take out a map of Tennessee, and you'll find me, right there in the middle!"

Shelbyville, Tennessee

Submitted by Meeegan Holt

Shelbyville is known as the Walking Horse Capitol of the World. Each August, the town hosts the Walking Horse Celebration. People come from all over the world to buy/sell/show horses for LOTS of money.

If you come to Shelbyville, I can almost guarantee you a walking horse ride.

Our high school basketball team isnt so bad either
We also have a lot of pencils..

We are 30 minute from the middle of Tennessee and 30 minutes from the Jack Daniels Distillery.

happy trails!
