Knoxville Yankee's Last Gasp
Ahoy! Knoxville Yankee has been resurrected from a shallow grave. Temporarily.
Wonderful news: We're leaving Knoxville. Forever. My children are saved.
Over the next few weeks, the exodus will begin. To help provide closure and transition therapy, I'm going to resurrect this blog and issue my final verdict on what has been a painfully long almost four years. Actually maybe I'll leave it up for a few years - a warning to others. If you're like us, don't move here. It's not for you. The material comforts aren't worth compromising your soul.
Most all of you are subscribed to this blog via email. Now is your chance to unsubscribe. I shut down my site largely because I (and apparently others) got sick of my own whining. As much as I tried to see the bright side of Knoxville, more often that not I was a hater.
But that was me still holding on to hope. That was me looking at the bright side. That was me censoring myself out of respect for my Tennessee friends.
That's all gone now. And it's not going to be polite, or constructive, or censored. It might not even be fair or accurate. If you don't want to hear me bitch, unsubscribe now. You've been warned. Clearly I'm as unopinionated, humble, and polite as ever.
Good talking at you all again :)

AMEN! tennessee freaking sucks! Take it from this Baltimore Maryland Yankee. I tried to tell you in the past but you didn't seem to want to listen. Look me up on facebook as Corrie Baltimore to hear my bitching and moaning from all my redneck experiences. It's been a long painful 4+ years for my family and I. We have out home for sale but are stuck here till the POS sells. But when it does we are heading back up North where intelligence, good food, better prices, etc etc lives. area71@gmail.com
