Moving from California to Tennessee (Hendersonville, Gallatin: insurance, high school, contractors)

I can't speak for JMT, but I would guess they would include things like-

Wolfgang Puck's restaurant, top day spas and salons (for people and dogs!), concerts at the Factory, the Galleria, sports training centers, etc.

In a nutshell, Franklin's Cool Springs area boasts some of the top retail/entertainment in the state.

Yeah, but does it have a good catfish restaurant?

No, Alleycat, since they closed down uncle Bud's roadside stand, it does not.

That's pretty typical of Uncle Bud (Buddy Rodgers). I think he's open one in Tullahoma now.

I used to drive across town to get that wonderful stuff. Sometimes waiting outside in line IN THE RAIN, and happy to do it! LOL! We sure do miss it.

Uncle Bud's opened up here in Hendersonville about a month ago. We've been 4 times and really like it.

Alleycat, no, but The Henpeck Market in Franklin has wonderful Catfish, one of the best I have had.

Thanks, I'll add it to my list of places to try. But I was mostly just joking around.

Occasionally I'll get out my Fry Daddy and fry my own.

I read your post. My wife and I are Californias that moved to Tn. We relocated to Franklin, and it is very nice here. I was able to find a higher paying job here in Tn as opposed to Ca. We already decided that we will never even THINK about going back to Cali. We are so much happier now that we are out of there. My finacial and family life, and probably my health too has improved so much its beyond words. For us, there was just nothing left in Ca that was worth staying for.

My wife and I have wanted to move to TN for years now. I have business ventures beginning to really thrive now there and in close by Topeka, KS. This has all been part of the master plan of moving in summer 08. Our kids are 12 and 9 and we would be moving between schools which is the perfect timing. Out of the ghetto of So. Cal into the green of TN.

I have visited lots of times as has my family. We love Williamson County and have toured the schools and done research galore and know that the area, the people and the culture is our thing.

HOWEVER, the tornados are totally frightening to my wife. We are keeping up on the weather news and we are both worried about our ignorance to the tornados. They seem so frequent and devastating.

To everyone, but especially the Californian transplants, how has it been coping with the Tornados? Any advice outisde of the basement and weather radio?

Thanks!
