Looking for a fresh start
Our family is looking to make a fresh start. We've had enough of South Florida and Florida in general.
We have two girls a teen and a tween. We want an area that has seasons with snow in the winter. Mountains would be nice. Good schools for the girls where english is NOT a second language. We want the old town feel you see in movies (yeah I know doesn't everyone! LOL), but seriously, I want to open up a bakery on Main Street. The top 5 places we are considering are Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, & Colorado.
Any advice, suggestions, etc would be greatly appreciated.

If you want snow in TN you need to research carefully. Most of TN doesn't get more than a few inches of snow and most of that doesn't last more than a day or two at most before melting away.
If that seems like enough snow for you then I would suggest going to the Knoxville and Tri-Cities sub forums on the TN board for more research. Jonesbourough and Fountain City are two names that I hear recommended on a frequent basis.
Plenty of mountains in east TN.  |

So, are you buying the bakery? I may come by to get a loaf when you get it.

We wanted to be more in the midwest. As for budget, we just really want to find a great place were we can find jobs and rent for a while. What kind of budget are you asking about? |
