Lots of neighborhoods? Do you mean like the Stephen King ones I look at everyday: 4000 + sq ft home on 1/3 of an acre, or less? Too funny!!! Never thought of the concept in those terms, but very, very fitting. Love it. May borrow that one.![]() |

There are no Costcos coming to knoxville in 2008, my husband gets emails periodically and knoxville wasn't on the list. He told me Costco has plans to double the amount of Costcos as quickly as they can. I called up headquarters in WA, the phone # is on their website, and they asked me if I'd like to put in a request, so I did. So, if everyone that likes Costco there puts in a request,also, perhaps, they will build one there. They just opened one in Nashville this year, so they must be looking at TN.
Could someone please answer my question about if people dress more modestly there because they truly love God and respect marriages and families. Or maybe I should just look in the yellow pages at how many plastic surgeons there are. Ha Ha. It takes up half of the yellow pages here in Las Vegas. Just Kidding, it just seems that way to me. |

People do dress pretty modestly here. I have a friend who teaches at Florida State and said students there routinely go to class in bathing suits. That is certainly not the case here, even in the middle of summer. |

I meant no new costco's in Tennessee in 2008. Hopefully, they will open one in 2009 because I'm praying the Lord will get us out of here. Even though we are considered in the boonies, their is still so many thieves at Costco. It is unbelievable that someone would use a gun to get out the door for some electronic thing just to find out they stole an empty box.

I can't tell you about the spiritual climate. Everyone here seems pretty nice for the most part...and genuine. They don't seem to judge others for what they choose to/not to do. I admire that in people. Live and let live I say. |

Granted, I have not been to this church here, but at first glance, it reminded me a lot of Word of Life with the "complex", etc...
World of Life and "Pastor Brian" are certainly interesting...I moved here from St. Joseph. |

I should have responded earlier, needrain, but I've had "issues."
Anyway, Powell is not perfect, and I have never been to Vegas, but I would guess that it would be much better than what you are dealing with. The church you speak of, I do believe, is associated with Crown College. By what you have posted, I think that is the place. I went through training with a Crown College graduate. He is studying to be a pastor. He is a wonderful young man. Always wears a tie and is probably the most intelligent person I have ever met. Even if I have this church mixed up, I can tell you that there are tons of Baptist churches around here and very wonderful people. Like JMT said, most people are very conservatively dressed. I think you would like it here, very much. ![]() Just know that I am not a Christian. I have no idea what I am. But it is a very safe place to raise our daughter, and I don't think I could survive in Vegas. Florida just about killed me, as it is. ![]() Please come and check it out. And it was wonderful how you tried to help us out with Costco! ![]() |

An equally nice and very similiar area on the east side of I-75 is Halls. Most all the outlying county would be a good choice to live in as would most parts of the city. Lots of people think that by living outside the Knoxville City Limits you save money on taxes but up to about the $200,000 price range it's about a wash. Here's the differences: If you live in Knox County only there is no public fire department so you have to pay a fee to belong to the private one, Rural Metro for around $300 a year. There is no trash pickup unless you subscribe to a private trash service for another 300 bucks or so a year. And because the City of Knoxville's fire department has a much higher rating than Rural Metro, homeowner's insurance is more expensive in the county than in the city. We just bought a new house in the city this year for about $25,000 more than we sold our previous one in the county and our homeowner's insurance was about half what it was before. Plus the city provides additional services the county does not such as curbside leaf pickup, handy at this time of year, and brush pickup, haul away used appliances, etc. |

I've noticed that a lot of these people who say they want to live in the "country" end up living in a housing development out in the county that's just as dense as some inner-city neighborhoods. |
