Default oak ridge people are great

hi all, first of all i have to say that we did visit oak ridge this past weekend and we were very impressed and in awe with the friendliness of oak ridge folks. if you were driving around and seen us driving very slow looking for different places and streets in a blue sante fe with florida plates, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HOSPITALITY for not beeping your horns because, we were going so slow. if anyone is looking for courtesy, friendliness, beautiful scenery, and very clean restaurants and stores. VISIT OAK RIDGE!!!!!

I think mbmouse is a little farther north, but I'm a local. I'm so glad you liked the area. You sure picked a good weekend - the weather was beautiful!

Two questions -

Where in New England are you from?

And tell what you did while you were here. Where did you go? What areas did you see that you liked?

Your three months will go by frighteningly fast. Mainly because if you're selling and buying, things will get crazy and time will fly. It seemed like no time between our visit down here and our move.

Good luck!

jmarky is right, I am further North/East in the Tri-Cities, but Oak Ridge is still considered East TN.

That's good to know. Me and my wife are very possibly going to make the move to Oak Ridge or Maryville. I heard back about a job today that would be on the I-40 strip in the southwest corner of Knoxville. Oak Ridge and Maryville both would be about a 10-15 minute drive.

Thanks for your post and any more info you share will be enjoyed as me and my wife are getting pretty excited by now.
