I moved to TN from NY. I live in East TN near the Smokie Mountains and I absolutely love it here.
Planning on moving as well. How do you like it so far?
@@TattsnGuns I personally love it, but don't go to Memphis it's a ghetto like seriously crack and meth heads everywhere. But to be honest that's just Tennessee meth heads everywhere but meth heads don't bother you, cracks heads will tho, I've only seen crack heads in Memphis.
I do to
Doobie Dooo Since you lived in New York before, is it as bad as Memphis? Meaning the areas in New York , like the Bronx (which sucks in my opinion I live here), Some parts of BK (Brooklyn) or Manhattan ( Spanish Harlem, Washington Heights, etc). Because there seems to be all kinds of crack heads here, especially on the darn trains!, crazy cases and God knows what else. I am dying to move out of NY soon!
I live in Memphis. Not the best but these are people that are clueless. Go with someone who knows the city and you’ll be fine. Lived here 3 years and grew up 45 minutes away. I have had only one issue so far.
This dude saying Tennessee is in the Midwest😂 it’s in the south cmon man
He had me confused with that one too
The mid south
Well actually he said lLIKE the Midwest it’s part of the tornado alley Because tornado alley isn’t just the Midwest
😂😂😂
Rolled Socks lol ikr
As a Tennessean, I love a high sales tax as opposed to an income tax. This way, EVERYONE contributes, and it’s more of a voluntary decision to contribute as opposed to the government taking their “share” before I even receive my pay check. If I don’t want to pay sales tax, I just need to be more self sufficient.
Right on!
Sales taxes are regressive. That is, they impact the poor far more than the rich.
It is amazing how many non-rich people are so easily tricked into supporting things against their own interests.
@@nobodyimportant7804 better to move to CA where you pay sales tax, and taxes on everything else under the sun. This is one of the most easy places to afford in the country, but i bet if some lefties move in and make a income tax things will get even easier to live, might as well add a bunch of taxes and regulations to make life easier...
@@MrBudcampo I already live in a blue state with great services and education.
No income tax, somewhat high sales tax - which sucks, it is a regressive tax that hurts the lower and middle classes. About average property tax.
If you live in a red state, the odds are that California and my state, among others, are subsidizing your state and are the only reason your red state isn't a 100% third-world state.
Once red states pay their fair share, you can make fun of blue states, which are wealthier, healthier, and more educated than red state citizens.
@@nobodyimportant7804 that's an idiotic statement. Rich people buy much much more than poor people therefore they automaticly pay more taxes. They also pay the same percentage of tax, and we both know that, for example, 10% over millions of dollars is way more money than 10% over your basic income.
As for your blue state health and education? Your education equals indoctrination and has young people ending up with useless degrees, 0 idea of how to care for themselves, and around 100k of student loan debt.
Sounds very healthy to me.
I'm in FL, so I'm not hearing any real reason to not move to TN!
TN is not the Midwest... it's the South!
More east then south
Mid south
my whole family used to live in florida, we all live in tennessee now. i’m talking like 20 people in my family
I was in fl 2 days ago I'm watching this cause I want to know what I'm about to enter I'm on vacation i guess but i live in G.A
@@dullfog5997 Where help me find a city
I'm a trucker and I am NEVER relaxed until I see a Tennessee sign welcoming me home. Trust me, there are far worse places to be. Stay out, and more Tennessee for ME! 👉🏽😎
I'm from SC n I'm a trucker. Our cooperate office is in Chattanooga and we have a terminal in tunnel hill, Ga. I want to move to tn so bad.
Burrell1 very true. No place like home
I drove for 2,000,000accident free miles and only two speeding tickets. I got them in my Home State Tennessee but I know how you feel crossing into the Volunteer. Home is home isn't Driver? May you always have a safe Journey out and back home. I still pray for Drivers every day. People don't have a clue about our service to the country. Trucks are the blood that keeps America going. Also Tennessee is voted the best Interstate for truckers every year.
You got that right.
Worse place I ever drove a truck was NJ...those fools just can NOT drive...
I'm a truck driver, and I love driving through Tennessee. But I would say that Nashville has some of the worst traffic in the country on bad days.
Drew Croslow I live 15 mins outside of Nashville & that’s the truest thing I have ever read on the internet!!!
Traffic is horrible at rush hour.
@MountainDrew It's only bad when shit is going on. If there's something at nissan stadium or it's rush hour it can take an hour and a half to get across the city, easy.
Funny, I drove through Nashville this week; as I left Kentucky somebody told me to take care there because of the traffic and dangerous driving. As I approached Nashville the traffic slowed up and it turned out a large part of the motorway was closed, needing a big diversion to get round the town. Took ages. Avoid. And it’s nearly October and still super hot and humid. But the people are very friendly. And Tennessee has real scenery.
@@johngriffith2907 So fucking true. I grew up in L.A as well, and the California hipster stereotype is completely innacurate. I've seen infinitely more hipsters in Boise, Portland, Pheonix, and many southern cities. California is pretty normal compared to the states that constantly shit on them for no reason.
i think all of the people from tennesse would agree that everything this guy says is bad about tennesse is what makes us love it so much. heat, rain, singers, and really everything
Audrey Zwick we also love the stupid people
Audre y I live in tennessee and this video is horrible
Audre y yep! I live in a great little town in East Tennessee and I completely agree.
I was born and raised in East Tennessee, I have lived here all my life, and I am 54 years old, and so far in this video, I am finding it funny as hell. Don't be such a stick in the mud if you are getting mad at this video. If your opinion differs, smile and know better. Briggs did say, he has never met anyone from Tennessee he didn't like, so don't take too much offense.
@@-Titann- Lmao, my favorite. Tennesseans are just a different breed of wtf shenanigans.
...I live and Tennessee....that’s all I wanted to say HI EVERYONE FROM TENNESSEE
Hi
Hello.
howdy!
Me too...born and raised
@Sonic The Nicholas Cage 901 shii
You have upset me by saying that Tennessee is in the Midwest... It's in the South non negotiable.
West River SD Storm Chase it’s not south.... It’s the Mid South. This is not Alabama nor Mississippi or the Deep South. It’s the MID South
Mark Fisher I would say Deep South is Some parts of TX, LA, MS, AL, GA, northern parts of FL, SC and some parts of NC
Oh and some parts of Arkansas
IamJo Tennessee is a dividing line in a lot of ways. It was politically, historically in the mid south region too. The terrain is divided regionally also. So different from Memphis to Nashville to Bristol to Clarksville to Chattanooga to the KY state line. It’s touches so many states. It has 3 stars on its flag because it’s 3 states in one west, middle, east. Was politically divided during the civil war. And still somewhat today.
IamJo also, there is a difference in accents in Tennessee. Listen closely to an East Tennessee person talk vs a Middle TN person talk vs a West TN person talk and you will hear the change in accent. That does not include outsiders that just moved in of course. Listen carefully and you’ll hear it.
I love living in TENNESSEE. There is air conditioning for summer and rain keeps everything green all year.
It rains about 50 inches annually in the west with the amounts spread rather evenly in the twelve months.
But the grass turns brown in the winter and temperatures can get below zero.
Green all year??? I live in TN and that's not it.
Mary Mcnabb I just had rain in Tennessee well at 12 something
Monday Morning this video is all bullshit I’m in Tennessee right now we never have tornadoes and only Nashville country but not Memphis Arkansas and Knoxville
Question, where would be a good place in TN for someone working in Air conditioning to live? But also wants to be close to the mountains?
Bruh Tennessee is an amazing state. The pros outweigh the cons
Is it cheap to live their
HECK YES
Hell yea bro
i know right i used to live there
If you like living in shitholes
He's right. Don't move to Tennessee! (we have all the folks we need) LOL
😆 right
I agree!!! We are crowded
Exactly!!!
sniff. I was hoping to escape the tyranny of NY. :(
@@jay7a2j Go to Utah
Tennessee is a southern state and a part of dixie alley not tornado alley.
Gammareign I live in Tennessee dude don’t know wtf he talking about we don’t wear sideburns or sell country music and never have tornadoes
30round Fred ... You must live in East Tennessee, because... ever heard of Nashville?? (Country Music Capital of the World). Tornadoes are common in the central part of the state.
@@swinde Uhhh like half my family lives there, they get like 1 tornado every like 3.5 years, not even that. Around the Nashville-Murfreesboro area there are very bad storms but rarely are there tornadoes.
I live in Memphis for long time I like it somebody rob me a couple times but next time i need do werever I need to do?
@@30roundfred bro That's so true, these Aren't even facts some are just obvious and opinions
I'm from Tennessee and thought it was humid but then I moved to Houston
Addie Davis I’ve been living in Houston last 10 years and moving to Knoxville in a few weeks. Can’t wait for cooler weather!
I'm from Charlottesville VA. I lived there too after my military enlistment. It got humid! 😖... unbearable...
Try living in South Carolina. THE WORST
Houston is the absolute worst city I’ve lived in. No zoning, high crime, horrible traffic, overpriced, dirt air, not pretty, frequent floods, high taxes...oh, and humid af!
@@GopnikVlad I have been here since 87, agree with you, there are some good things we do have, lots of land, excellent medical care, lower taxes than most places--4th largest city in USA, 3 law schools, much improved since I came, roads improved, light rail here, every place has plus and minus aspects--I did okay, now 64, will leave soon--no longer cheap to live here
I escaped San Diego 2 years ago moved to Tennessee in my life has never been better I'm so happy here I love it here best people best things to do not very expensive everything's affordable God I love this state!!!
Me too!
It's my home. I love Tennessee, have a great day y'all. Thank you for this vid, yes.. I'm a yr late oh 🐋
Damn i'm from memphis, & its really crazy how ppl view memphis from the outside
SevenUP901 bruh for real Memphis isn’t THAT bad. Been here my whole life and it’s been great
No lie, we really do. I'm from Knoxville, and nobody and i mean NOBODY wants to go to Memphis. We don't talk about it, we don't even acknowledge its part of Tennessee lol. Idk what it is... but we don't claim y'all😂
I'm from Jackson I have never had a problem in Memphis and housing is a lot cheaper in my area than the video says the average over all.
SevenUP901 it’s the 10th most dangerous city in the US, that’s bad.
I’ve lived in Memphis my whole life and love it here rich with history
East Tennessee rarely has tornadoes because it’s in the Appalachian Mountain system
Yep. The ridges protect.
East TN here.... this guy is mostly clueless
Except Memphis..... saggy pants = crime
and it can get hot....
Anonymously Anonymous not in West either
Anonymously Anonymous I agree, but the people who replied. He said it can happen, just like in 2011.
yes, he was inaccurate on that. West TN is what you have to worry about..
Wait, a video about tn from a guy who has met a few Tennesseans and been to Tn a handful of times? Such an expert!
Omg right
Kam is right he’s not really an expert...
At least he admits he hasn't been here since 2011. What a hatchet job. With a dull hatchet.
....and hasn't been there in 10 years
and probably a CALIFORNIAN yet-- brain dead DEMONCRAP..
you are so good at explaining your reasons. we watch you every week for states class and are always exited to see what you've got to say about the next state we study. thank you for being so funny!
This isn't getting dislikes from TN people because TN people want y'all to quit movin in
They wouldn't be moving in if there was people there that could actually work and are qualified for the jobs there.
Dominick Nesbitt right. We have enough ppl. In Tenn.
Dominick Nesbitt hahaha! Truth!
Amen. Collierville is getting toooooo packed
Hey, give Texans a pass! We also like guns and churches
Tennessee is one state but 3 parts East, Middle and West. Most folks from East TN when asked where they are from will say East TN. The (east) Tennessee Valley is beautiful and thanks to TVA.... lots of lakes. I’m lucky to have Douglas Lake as my backyard!!! Remember to love everyone.... even if they don’t love you!
Yeah, I always say I'm from West tennessee. Someone made the comment that our flag looks like the three star dragon ball, ha ha!
If it wanst for the tva we would have more resources for we would be able to hunt and fish our own land. The tva takes care of tn just like a cop does his patrol car. They run it into the dirt
West is the ugliest part
I used to go to English Mountain and I rode horse back to the edges of Douglas Lake
@@nunyabeeswax3936 I live in Florida but built a cabin 6 years ago that has a view of English Mountain as well as Douglas Lake. (Huff Hollow Area)…ssshhh don’t tell anybody but it’s still a quite area, low taxes and beautiful views.
Tennessee is like heaven on earth come on don’t disrespect my state like that
Wow what we learn on your clips... Thanks for the info!
I've lived in TN all my life, born & raised. I love my home state and couldn't imagine living anywhere else.
Thanks... I'm planning to move to Tennessee. I've watched several video's. Many people tells me that TN has too many tornadoes in one day. Is that factual? I'm from Florida and we have several hurricanes.
@@brendavaughn7958 TN does not have many tornadoes. The only thing this guy got right is the humidity but that's just part of living there.
@@brendavaughn7958 Listen I moved to Knoxville after 20 years in Florida. Been here over 3 years and rarely had a real thunderstorm. Have had 1 bad flood first year but not horrendous
@@tanarice4705 And it’s not as bad as Florida
There is a small tricounty in Tennessee(Maryville, Alcoa, and rockford) and they are basically in a bowl of mountains therefor thwy rarely get tornadoes or even snow. Also, the downpour of rain is one of the best things about Tennessee. It's so lovely to sit on your screened in porch with a glass of iced sweet tea during a thunder storm.
Sounds like heaven to us .🇺🇸
I live in Erwin TN, and same here. This idiot that made this knows nothing, apparently…
Refreshing
I've lived here my entire life. My family were original settlers in East Tennessee and pretty much stayed in this area. I still think this is the best place to live. West Tennessee is completely different than East Tennessee.
No. There are hundreds of amazing places to visit. Do not stay in your tiny bubble. Live your life as you want to live
Love your videos, I have just bought some land in east Tennessee and am planning on building a new house and moving there, so when I saw this video I was concerned and I had to watch it. Any way if this is all I have to worry about Its fine with me no worries. I am up in the mountains were it is usually 10 degrees cooler in summer. I am looking forward to moving there :D
Welcome to Tennessee! Ive been here from Michigan for 43 yrs. never looked back. Yes the summers are hot and humid, but so are allot of other states. I love it here.
You’ve probably got one of the best areas!
There's more tornadoes in Florida than Tennessee
I swear every week in the spring I see a small tornado or decent size one. I live in Florida lmao
Hey dude, its supa from twitter
@Aleta Harrington god dam stfu u said that in every comment
Go vegan!!!!!!
I ever heard of Ohio
All states in South are hot and humid.
North Carolina is not that hot and humid.
Mr. Cheeseman I used to live in Charlotte, and we had it easy because all of the weather had to pass east through the Appalachian mountains, making it a colder breeze. It’s pretty awesome
I live in Arkansas so I agree
@Ojibwa62 x Yeah it is WAY more humid in Fayetville than in Charlotte
Except West Texas
good video thank you for sharing
Considering moving to the Oak Ridge, Maryville, or small towns around those areas this year. Im a moderate conservative from PA and need warmer weather and my 2A rights. I also love the outdoors. Would those areas be somewhat safe to raise a family and be able to hike, fish, and hunt? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Dude Tennessee is not a midwestern state at all. It’s part of the south.
More accurate title would be “9 Reasons not to move to Nashville and 1 low effort generalization of Memphis”
“Poverty level 83% higher than national average” and “crime rate 163% higher than national average” are not “generalizations,” bro. That’s are statistical facts
Grew up in Memphis. Sorry, but it's a complete shithole. It's such a hole that it's infected the surrounding regions. Just review crime stats through the decades. And when I left it wasn't as bad as it is now. I have nothing bad to say to say about the rest of the state.
CZ OS I can’t disagree with you. I’ve been to Nashville and felt perfectly safe, it’s beautiful and very neat! Memphis, on the other hand is a very different place. I went to a Grizzlies game, and I swear to God not even five minutes drive from the stadium was a piece of shit, very disgusting and quite frightening. Granted, I was on the Mississippi side, but the city itself is so terrible that it’s managed to spread to areas maybe 10-15 minutes outside. I dunno, just seemed like a terrible place to live by what I saw during my few day stay.
@@granttheant4082
Yes, there a lot of gentrified areas but I actually saw a variety of areas during my visit over Memorial Day. During that week we stayed in Germantown; I found the Germantown and Collierville areas quite quaint. Activities were still limited or closed for stores, restaurants, etc. due to C-19 but I did get out and around the area. In Memphis, I visited the Riverwalk (downtown Memphis) and Mississippi to the Tangier Outlet Mall in Southhaven (I believe.)
Like in every city, there's good and bad; try to find the good in all places (and people). ☺
I love me some Tennessee, but Memphis straight up sucks raw ass.
As a native Tennesseean it is even getting more crowded in rural areas. One patch of little suburbs where hay fields grew. Spring Hill is a pain driving thru main street. Before Saturn now GM plant it was a whole in the wall.
Is Saturn still there? I remember when they built it around 1990. I lived in Shreveport and a girl I worked with moved there for her husband’s job
#9: "Some side-burned fireman hosing you down" I cracked up laughing.
You obviously are only familiar with lowland Tennessee. It's a whole different world up in the mountains in the northeastern part of the state.
Speaking of research, you really need to google where "Tornado Alley" actually is.
Spend a spring day or most summer days in Jackson, and you will hear the tornado warning sirens go off at least once.
Tornados happen all over... that doesn't mean it's tornado alley. Would you say Ohio is in New England just because it gets cold in the NE?
It's not really part of 'tornado alley', however they do get tornadoes in Tennessee. Oh, and tornadoes do not happen all over. I've never dealt with a tornado in Las Vegas, NV or El Paso, TX. The southwest desert areas of the country don't seem to have tornado issues. Lots of other issues, but not tornadoes.
@@skip3619 don't compare Ohio to be lol
We had an EF-4-5 in Southeast TN a few years ago that stayed on the ground for about 40 miles. We frequently have tornadoes in the eastern part of TN along with huge lightning storms with cloud tops reaching 40,000 ft. The problem is in the mountains you can't see the tornadoes coming. Nine people were killed less than a mile from my house, so don't say we have no tornadoes. And it wasn't a one time thing. Just in my small town, we have at least two a year if not more. Frequent tornado warnings with our storms.
I visited my son there a month ago . And I loved it. I felt better health wise I didn't want to leave. So if I had a choice where to live it would be there. Beautiful place.
Moving to Murfreesboro November 1st from Missouri and i'm very excited
I don't know what part of TN allows open containers in cars, but it will sure get you ticketed or arrested in East TN.
Damn right....that is NOT ALLOWED HERE. But I agree with him about the tornados(cant count how many warnings and/or watches we get a year...And the HUMIDITY SUCKS!!!..I have always desperately disliked our weather.
It's a state law. This guy will say anything obviously
You can't have an open container while on the road at all in Tennessee, it doesn't matter if you are the driver or the passenger.
@@breannacunningham2736 You used to could...but that was changed YEARS ago...the OP forgot his head let alone to do his research
That’s true! East Tennessean here.
Hahahahaha Memphis isn’t that bad as long as you know where NOT to go
Taylor Strong right 🤣
He come to my part of town I'm Robbing him just because 😂😂😂
Where do I not go ?
@@andypeterson2126 You'll know it when you see it. Lol. If it looks sketchy it is! About like anywhere really.
Dont go anywhere at night. I was born and raised there. Was a nice place. Not so much now. The stray bullet band play anywhere anytime
I love your videos so much Briggs! They’re my favorite thing on RUclips and no I won’t stop typing lol!
Thank you, Daniel.
Omg, I live in Franklin TN and I have never seen a tornado in my life. And I love it in Franklin!
Tennessee is the only state in the south I generally like as a whole. North Carolina and South Carolina have their times and places but Tennessee is just nice
i mean I think the whole south has a lot of beautiful landscape. Kentucky does seem a little boring but if you enjoy the simple things all of these states are great in their own right. The best thing about the south is it's not overly developed. I cant stand cities personally. Trying to get out of Maryland. As far as the NE goes I like PA, MA, NH, and VT.
Texas is beautiful. Hot as hell but beautiful.
I’m assuming you haven’t visited Memphis yet lol
Terrible city
I find the Ozarks of NWA is my best place in the south along with a few others lol. I think it comes down to symmetrics....Every step you take is a math equation. A bad step for you might be 2 steps good for someone else. Sometimes the grass is greener....
Thank you
I am from Tennessee and have lived here all my life. But like everywhere there's good and bad. i wouldn't live in Memphis ever. A friend worked for the phone company and went out there for a week. In that time, he barely missed seeing a murder twice. Once he went in the wrong neighborhood, and the only reason he didn't get mugged was a hooker came up offered to get him out of trouble for $50. She told the two guys he was a customer and chewed them out. She walked my friend to a safe area, told him which way to go then chewed his ass out and told him NEVER to wonder in to that area again. She may have charged him $50, but she saved his ass and actually cared about him.
What?! Bro, that has got to be the craziest story I ever heard! What a helpful hooker! Lol
I’m from Memphis and is not all bad it’s depends on the part of Memphis you see we have amazing music and food and I recommend you see the pyramid people love going there
It really depends what part you’re in. If you’re in a bad part, just play it cool and don’t talk with the locals
@@realjasmine7863 STFU
People What is name of song from 0:00? I have it on back of my tongue but can't remember
I'm a new watcher, i think you do a really good job working the mic; Very informative and fun to listen too. Keep up the good stuff.
Move to rural middle TN from Atlanta 27 years ago and never once regretted it.
Nashville girl here; this was great, thanks! Especially using Promontory for the background music. It's an awesone song to listen to during those Tennessee thunderstorms ☺️
I love Nashville girls moving here from Switzerland, you natives are awesome.
Nashville girls are hot!
I visited Nashville in 2016. I enjoyed visiting the Parthenon, the Riverfront, and seeing all of that Greek Revival architecture. I filmed a few RUclips videos while I was there. It was amazing.
I was born in Nashville
@@Aaronhouston33 Awesome. I have some video footage of the Nashville Riverfront.
Yours is the very best channel I've seen in a very long time. Thanks man!
I lived all over Tennessee and love it here and almost got hit by tornado a few months ago here in Chattanooga. It's humid here yes but nothing like Florida.
You live in Mississippi too? I’m from Mississippi
dude can u just say # and get right to the point instead of the gun bang and make us wait several seconds before u say the #?
Hu La 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Correct about the housing prices and traffic. Lived in Nashville for 2 years and A LOT of people are moving there. The locals born there hate it.
I misread this comment and thought it said," the locals here, I hate them". I was offended then read it again.
1963Iota I’m about to build a wall around Tennessee and not let anyone else in
That's any growing city that housing become more expensive
Try living in Florida
@@germanstein what part?
I built a multi million dollar legal business from scratch in Memphis Tennessee.. cmon mane!!!
More murderers=more legal representation.....brilliant!
what is the name of the song in the beggining of the video? i found it nice
That was a Great video! Can you consider doing Top 10 Reasons to or not to move to Vermont please?
It's been done. Google it on the top line.
Thank you for the video because maybe people will see this and not move here.
I still want to move 😬 iam from Portugal
Love tha commentary, Briggs 💯
I have family in Tennessee, and I can tell you right now, it’s a Southern state lol. BUT I can also attest the humidity is bad there. Last time I visited, it was June 2016
The intro music really set the mood for this video.
"Stop typing" is STILL hilarious. "Look it up" is a close second.
I love that song.
I love Tennessee, especially since I live there.
Same
Looking to move to Farragut, West Knoxville, Lenoir City, or Maryville. Do you have a video on these places?
Your sense of humor is absolutely top 😎 awesome! Would you please make video on worse bug 🐛 states please?!
Tennessee is not in the Midwest and east Tennessee doesn't get tornadoes because of the mountains.......
Edit: I was born and raised in Knoxville and I haven’t ever experienced a tornado in my 19 years of life. Yes I do realize that mountains have nothing to do with tornadoes now that was just something I had been told lol.
We get them once in a blue moon, a few years ago, one tore the top of the mountain up. the one that hit closest to home was the one that started in AL and went through LaFayette, TN...dang thing was a mile from the house...but I grew up in MI, had one up there when I was in high school too...
Really do you really live here? I lived in Powell th for 14 yrs and every time it stormed there were tornado s. Lived in Clinton Tn they also had a few tornados. There for awhile this could of been tornado ally. Just like Dallas Texas
Christine Miner I live in Powell. Been here for 7 years. I better keep a heads up during tornado season in the future. Thankfully, we haven’t had any real tornado threats since I moved here.
We get them at times but they are not the F-4 's and F-5's like they get in the plains. East Tennessee gets a minor version of every natural disaster but nothing major. The worst natural disaster I have seen was the fire in the Smokies a couple of years ago, which is still nothing compared to the California fires.
Kayla J you do realize that middle and west Tennessee don’t have mountains
I’m a fifteen year old from Tennessee, I’ve been on a school bus to school and got to watch a tornado out the window.
I moved to Knoxville from CA in 2012. I love this place--humidity, bugs, and all
Humidity bugs nothing compared to South Florida , we are heading to Tennessee soon we love everything about the state .
@@johnconde8837 how’s it going in TN!?
We are in the southeast. You are right about the humidity and Memphis. I don't know anyone who would choose a state income tax over a slightly higher sales tax.
A more accurate name for this channel is "USA According to Briggs".
Tennessee is in Dixie Alley, not Tornado Alley.
As a life long Tennessean with Scottish ancestry I love it here! Live about an hour and half south of Nashville and about three hours east of Memphis. While I completely agree with what's said about Memphis in this video and if you want an answer for the problem I'll give you one short and simple. Democrats. And Memphis pays the price daily for it. Ok that said I'll give my personal list of 10 reasons to move to Tennessee according to Me 😉. Here we go, Michigan, NY State, Pennsylvania Massachusetts, Connecticut,Maryland New Jersey, Washington State, Oregon and last but never least the once great state know as California!!! Their it is folks and I've got a list of realtors that can back up every sale made to all the people moving in from these once great states. Almost forgot to mention we have AWESOME gun laws!! There it is you heard it from a Tennessean and a veteran my ton 10 reasons for moving to Tennessee! Enjoy 😉
Non American here, what's the song at the beginning and the end? I went through the description and comments, but found nothing. I recognise it, and can't figure out where from.
Yea quit moving here, please.
Especially Nashville. We full and stop driving our housing/rent costs up people.
@@christophercarter129 amen brother
The Wolverine I know right. Tennessee isn’t a very big state to begin with and only has a limited capacity for people.
What's the population of Tennessee? Houses are cheaper in Serbia though.
nashville slim please. Stay in your own state.
I turn 16 in June and I've lived in Kingsport TN my whole life and I've never seen a tornado. But it is very humid and rains a ton
We just had a few tornadoes the other night. Just depends on how close you are to Alabama I guess.
Fellow east tennessean! I live just south of you!
I've also lived in Tennessee my whole life and never seen a tornado, and I'm 41. You don't have to have "lived under a rock" to have not seen a tornado in Tennessee.
Could be because Johnson City is surrounded my mountains, though.
I guess you didn’t just see that big tornado that went through Nashville!!!!
I live in Athens we only had one tornado the year before last tornados aren't that common round here
Which state do u think is more humid Alabama or Tennessee
Ya'll Stay out please. Al full. Especially Californians, New Yorkers :)
No sane New Yorker or Californian would ever want to move to Tennessee.
Ive lived in Tennessee my whole life and yes most of these statements are true, but I honestly havent seen a tornado only tornado warnings. The humidity is sticky but its nothing compared to Florida. The sales tax and memphis statements are absolutely spot on.
The moonshine is part of the charm!
Memphis has been the land of opportunity for me and my family.
@CJ AGOGBUA yes.
how so?
@@felixrenard2438 had several good jobs, met my wife and lived in peace for the most part.
what is the intro song from?
Did you go to Nashville during the 2011 tornado outbreak in April?
I was in Tulsa at the time. Lots of tornadoes!!
I was in Tuscaloosa in college when it ripped though the town. Tornados were everywhere!
I live in Antioch Tennessee I love living here! most of us don’t have side burns 😂 and yes we do have a LOT OF HEAVY RAIN.
Antioch is the hood. Like Madison
Still moving to East Tennessee! Ain’t heard nothing to keep me from leaving California.
Took me 30 years to ESCAPE California-- HATED IT THERE-- I'm FROM TN- and moving BACK!!!
Did you make your move? I moved out of Seattle last summer, in fact I've been here a year this last weekend exactly. Best decision I ever made, living in Eastern Tennessee in the foothills of the Smoky mountains outside of Johnson City..love it!
@@mikebezanson6229 yep, we made it out in late April. I lived in California from the age of 4 and this, Newport TN feels like home to me. I’m in my happy place.
@@NewportMamabear Great! I've been through there several times, actually attended a charity event at a resort/ camp there last month, beautiful area..
@@mikebezanson6229 Oh yes- I've been back 4 years now-- and am NEVER leaving til they carry out what is left of me..
What song is the intro?
8:13 Awwwww, Imperial Lanes 😭 I miss this place.
We still got Hardwicks though!
I live in Nashville and you're absolutely correct about housing prices and that's because people are moving here by the hundreds every day! I'm trying to get out!
I live in Tennessee and one second it’s sprinkling the next your soaking wet also we don’t always follow what the weatherman says he says clear sometimes but it turns out it’s pouring
I often think about moving to the Chattanooga area in the future. Anyone have any experience there?
Im fine in Memphis and fine in Tennessee. Been here almost 45 years no problems for me.
Lot rascism there toward black people?
@@mattda1033 "Black" is 63.3% in Memphis.
🖕Memphganistan
Memphis ain't too bad just don't go to the bad parts of town for the most part but yeah those bad parts need to be avoided but its largely just gang violence and drug dealers Killing each other
Joshua Humes every 5 minutes you are in a bad part of town in Memphis 🤣🤣🤣
Funny!! Name one place in Memphis that isn't bad!
I live here, man
South Memphis 😂😭
@@colby9013 lol
What’s funny is my good friend who lives in Memphis has some fucking amazing chops. Made me laugh when he made his sideburn comment lol
I thought it was the volunteer state because of the wages. When you work, it's like volunteering.
PLEASE DON'T SAY THAT ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE CITY OF MEMPHIS IS A MESS BECAUSE THE CITY OFFICIALS AND THE GOVERNOR COULD DO BETTER TO GIVE BETTER PAYING JOBS AND MORE TO MEMPHIS BUT THEY DON'T CARE THIS IS PART OF THE PROBLEM.
Amen tell it like it is they don't know
PERIOD!
I now live in the Northeast corner of the state (near Johnson City, TN). From Knoxville to the northeast corner of the state, we have four distinct seasons. Yes, summers can be hot and humid. But winters can be bitter cold. OK, not Minnesota or Kansas territory, but winters can still be cold and snowy. Otherwise, this was a superb video as usual. I was looking forward to this one, and you did not disappoint. And you were spot on concerning taxes and weird laws.
Winters are cold, for a southerner. I doubt my family in Delaware would ever complain about the winters in Johnson City.
Hello Neighbor! I live in Kingsport.
i’m in greenville 👋
I'm in Elizabethton. Even with the humidity and allergies, I love Northeast Tennessee and am glad I moved here. Folks are so friendly!
could you make a video on what is wrong with Memphis, I get the gangs and poverty but It has so much invested in 20th century music and culture there must be other reasons why it has crashed and burned? I only know the basics in regards to blues ,rockabilly sun studio and the other local record companies and artists but has it always been the bottom of a barrel?
Evidently you've never tasted good moonshine! Goes down s!ooth as silk.
I know you did Mississippi as a whole, but can you do one on the Mississippi Delta?
Hey, y'all. I am a Texan who lived (for a while) in Virginia. I travel over the road fairly frequently from Texas to Virginia and back. I have always enjoyed my travels through Tennessee, mostly on I-40. I do sometimes go down to/through Chattanooga, as I have family in both Alabama and Georgia. Thank you, TN. Southern Pride Forever!!
I’ve been living in Tennessee (Nashville to be exact) since quarantine summer, and the Moon Shine one was accurate as hell. I love it now though. P.s. new video out this upcoming Monday on my pros and cons of living in Nashville !🤠
You the man Briggs. You make the best travel videos
