Thank You Tennesseans!
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. |
