I recently visited your lovely state and I'd like to compliment you.

Every single person I dealt with was absolutely wonderful. From the people at the airport, the rental car place, the restaurants, the convenience stores, even the touristy places...everybody was so friendly & polite.

Even the State Trooper, "Officer Tim," from whom I received my first taste of Tennessee hospitality in the form of a speeding ticket in Grundy County. He was a true southern gentleman. I deserved the ticket.

I'm a southerner and travel often, but I live in Florida and rarely experience this degree of warmth I encountered in Tennessee. Can you all import some of that to Florida?

Thank you!!!!!

Holy Moly! Nobody I encountered could have been more pleasant.

Now I'm back in the land of the rude & don't care. Lousy service at the restaurant Friday night and the same bitchy, scowling clerk at the Kangaroo.

For sure, we'll be back...every chance we get!

Ditto for our visits. Everyone we met was very gracious and welcoming.

IMHO...the only way to experience TN hospitality in FL is to git yourself back up here
