It's racist as hell and quite segregated. Its surprisingly violent, everyone believes they need to be armed to the teeth and its probably the creepiest place I ever lived. You can't throw a rock in that state without hitting some religious freak who thinks they should be telling other folks how to live their lives. That's the real Tennessee. If ya think Nashville is Tennessee, then you have mistaken the oasis for the desert.
Bottom line: if Tennessee was "hip" or "cool" then it wouldn't have a bigoted fundamentalist troglodyte like Marsha Blackburn for a senator. Ok? Marsha Blackburn is the real Tennessee. You and the rest of the new people are just visiting. Thats the truth. If you want to live your life being ruled by the Southern Baptists and Church of Christ, then Tennessee is the place. The state is run by bible beaters who think compromise is a sin and they do not willingly share power.
