I like it here, but my resume is pretty thin at the moment. If I can beef it up a little bit, I will probably move to wherever I can get a good job even if I have to move to Alaska. That will probably be a couple years from now. I'm not familiar with much of the state outside of Nashville and whatever I-40 passes through. I did get lost in Van Buren county once. Talk about sticks.
It's not bad here....but I have been here since '83. I probably would not voluntarily move here, as I'm really still a midwesterner at heart, and would go back given the opportunity.
It has been, however. a great place to raise my kids. Crime is relatively low...most murders are done by a person known to the victim, and not a lot of other crime.
Close to the mountains and less than 6 hrs to the SC Atlantic coast, 8 hrs to the FL Gulf coast.
Not sure what you are looking for, but you might go online and do some research for the area.
