Official Tennessee Thread

Well, we're almost neighbors. We're building in Dunlap. Should be there in late May.

 

I have never been to Chattanooga, not even sure I have been in TN proper. Think ive been in the tri-state area near the Ocoee whitewater center.

We were originally planning on WNC but every step kept funneling us towards TN.

 

You'll find a lot around Chattanooga!

 

We have friends in Chattanooga and a visit with them got us thinking about it.

 

Made a financially irresponsible decision this weekend...
Saw a great kit sale price for Springfield Hellcat with extra mags, bag, etc that i went in to look at but then I saw a Canik and it felt so much nicer than the Springfield.

Wife didn't ask about the price difference so i didn't tell her. LOL

I guess new brake pads are gonna wait another month or 3.

 

hello from crossville - WE-0

 

Hello from the lonely north...

 

2016 4x4-4-cyl-manual - you can’t beat this set up about 45,000 smiles-skid plates etc

 

Silver Sky represent!

See ya’ll in a couple weeks.

 

We used to go camping (nothing special) down in Chattanooga when the oldest was still little (25-28 years ago) but hadn't been back in 24 years... Nice aquarium and Ruby Falls is nice.. Want to go back and check out the Tow Truck museum someday.. Sad part is we now have family down in Cleveland and still haven't been back....

 

Welcome to the area, its a nice place other than all the traffic!

 

Worse than Nashville??

Yeah, traffic even sux north of Nashville.. lol

 

When they're doing work on I24/75 (which is basically 24/7) it can get bad, or when someone wrecks (which is at least once per day). Haven't experienced Nashville traffic much, so I can't speak on how well it compares lol

 

I've always thought it was bad, and the roads were in worse shape.

 

Your not missing much, I would not put it on my bucket list...

 

Nashville traffic is an absolute joke compared to Atlanta. I lived just outside of Atlanta for most of my life and it’s one of the only places I’ve ever been in gridlock traffic past midnight on multiple occasions. Nashville drivers suck, but I think everyone thinks that their city/state has the worst drivers.

 

I lived in and around Atlanta for a long time. Had campus apartment literally on edge of I75 once. It does get bad but I thought it generally flowed better than Nashville or Chattanooga even. Maybe I just knew the optional routes better for Atl than other places. River and mountain blocks you from having many options in Chatt but I have once in a while found a nice alt route there too.

 

Metro-Atlantian here and it's a shit show. It does flow at least but I definitely pick better times to travel when I can, certain areas to avoid and what not. I will say Chattanooga traffic is quite shit, easily takes an hour plus to just make it through there

 

Agreed. I have friends over in EAV and we usually stay out that way anyways but getting in is never great, especially during rush hour. The 75/85 changeover is a dog along with the 75/20 changeover. I don’t know if they’ll ever figure out how to make that stretch run smoothly.
