I so badly want and plan to move to Tennessee by summer. I chose Knoxville because it's most closest to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. I don't know of any other towns that surround Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg with easy access by public transportation to get into Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. I want to buy season pass to Dollywood so I want to be able to be as close as I can. Maybe I am assuming wrong but I don't know if it's expensive in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge and if there are walmarts and such there. I'd like to try and hope to land a job but would there be jobs for such people like me who are disabled and not really with a lot of skills. I mean I do have a h.s. diploma. Also I read from some people who say that the pay is low and not enough. Is this true? What is Knoxville life really like? What about the education system and health care as well as the police dept. there? How is the air and water quality there? Are there programs and services there than can help you look for and get a job?


Here's questions for those who receive SSI/SSDI and Tenncare:
I am trying again to see if I can find a job I can do here for the time being. I tried before but I had worst luck but right now and for so many years my only income is SSI and I currently receive $733 so I am wondering if I do qualify if It would be same, less or more? On Tenncare, how well is the healthcare for Tenncare recipients?


Thank You all for all your time and help. I just want to be well informed and prepared before making the move to Tennessee.
