I like where I live and have no real urge to move anywhere where I will get angry all of the time. (I live in Connecticut)
We're blue:
We were the second state to legalize gay marriage:
We recently opened up our first medical marijuana dispensary:
I'm an extreme atheist and don't want to live where religion is pushed in my face everyday on billboards, bumper stickers, etc.. I HATE being told to have a blessed day which every cashier and passerbyer says in the South.
On a less serious subject, BBQ is fine, but as a whole I really don't like southern food. Especially sweet tea
And it drives me nuts that people can say coke instead of soda
So... you can see that Tennessee is represented as a different color in every single one of these maps. It would not be my cup of tea. I also love living up north for 4 full real seasons (I love both a cold, snowy winter as well as a hot summer), and I love living in the North East for its proximity to everywhere else. I can be in NYC or Boston in 2 hours. I can be on the ocean in 1.5 hours (or the Long Island Sound in 45 minutes) or on a huge ski mountain in Vermont in 2 hours (small mountains in 35 minutes). I like being in a small, highly populated state, but yet there is still a lot of farms and trees. My hometown elementary school was sandwiched between farms, but I could get to the capital city in 20 minutes.
On the other hand, there are tons of amazing Inforooers in Tennessee, hence my my random Nashville musings.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
As many of you know I am about 4220.732 miles from Nashville as the crow flies. This makes me a little bit sad.
Sometimes you visit a place and it feels like home, for many reasons, most of which can't be explained. It just feels right. This is how it feels in Tennessee for me.
I have been a few times (my Nan lives just outside Knoxville), I would like to visit no more, I'd like to move.
I have a degree in Conservation and Environment, experience in loads of different sectors.
Someone find me a job somewhere awesome, or near somewhere awesome? Are there any Inforooers that are business owners and need someone who is very good at pushing and lifting, moderately tall and has an English accent?
Thanks Y'all. (see I have the Lingo down already)
Do you want to move to Nashville or just anywhere in the state? If you are wanting to be around this area, I will keep my eyes and ears open for a job.
Though I'm not sure how the job application works for non-citizens... paging dreamingtree !
I wish I could help but I got my green card by marrying an American and not by getting sponsored by a company I have no idea how that works sorry!!

Damn, based on those maps, I thought I was going to get you to move to Las Vegas with me, but then you started talking about four distinct seasons. We've got your hot summer covered, but the snowy winters are a no-go.

I'm pretty sure MN is the winning pick. If you want 4 season we have em all, yes fall and spring are all of 4 weeks long, but you can have 90+/humid in the summer and -50 wind chill in the winter! It's so cool!
Originally moved to Raleigh, NC in 2006 and even fast food joints had a buffalo sauce available, unlike my Yankee roots up in VA/DC/MD. And I've got a decent amount of restaurants around me with buffalo sauces.
Originating at the Anchor Bar and perfected by Duff's. Buffalo sauce is a hot sauce using franks red hot and butter as a base. Other peppers and ingredients are added to achieve varying levels of intensity.
Chicken wings are tossed in this mixture and served with blue cheese, celery and carrots, and pitchers of draft beer.
People here are nuts. We have a chicken wing festival at the baseball field every year. Complete with a beauty pageant and an eating contest.
I promise you, that if you haven't eaten at the aforementioned establishments.....you didn't get the proper sauce.
I don't eat chicken wings because the thought of tearing meat off the bone with my teeth is absolutely disgusting to me. But variations of the snack have been turned into dips, soups, and pizzas, which is amazing.
also......you should see what we do to a roast beef sandwich in Buffalo.
They tell us "Rock'n'roll is the devil's music." Well, let's say we know that rock is the devil's music, and we know that it is, for sure … At least he fuckin' jams! If it's a choice between eternal Hell and good tunes, and eternal Heaven and New Kids on the fuckin' Block … I'm gonna be surfin' on the lake of fire, rockin' out.

I'm neutral about it. I'm a meat fan, but slow roasted and pulled isn't my preferred style. It's good here and there. I also don't really like most BBQ sauces. Too sweet. Once in awhile there is a thinner, vinegar based BBQ sauce that I can really enjoy. I'm not a fan of most of the other sides that are offered with the meat- corn bread, cole slaw... I went to my first BBQ joint in Nash this year and I was totally confused how to order. "BBQ with 2 sides." But BBQ what? I was so confused about what that meant and why there wasn't options: BBQ wings, BBQ pulled pork, etc.. How can one order just BBQ? Isn't that like saying," can I get some Mexican with a side of rice?" To be honest, until a few years ago, I didn't realize BBQ was a specific type of cuisine/restaurant, which is which is why I was so confused. I knew it only as a verb. "Let's BBQ!" "Sounds great! What should I pick up? Some chicken thighs? Or sausages? Kebab fixings?" BBQ just means that you're using the grill to cook. So to say you're having BBQ is an extremely general term to me that I am still trying to wrap my head around what it means to other people.
