You live in one of the most beautiful areas of the U.S.A. Being from California , I found it very interesting how people in other states refer to the area where they live. i.e., North East Tennessee. I can understand West Tennessee, Central (Mid?) Tennessee, and East Tennessee. But Northeast? The idea that Tennessee has a Northern or Southern area just seems odd. Another example that stands out most to me happened in Massachusetts. I read in a local newspaper that a certain event occurred in South West Massachusetts. WHAT? I mean there's a Southern California that extends for about 400 miles and a Northern California that extends for around another 400 miles but Massachusetts is smaller than the County where live. South West Massachusetts????? Blink while driving there and you miss the whole state!......Anyway, the area around Bristol, Tenn. is beautiful!

It’s the shape of the state. The three grand divisions are East, Middle, and West. But because the Tri-Cities area is located at a point a lot of people will say Northeast TN. Even when at Reelfoot Lake (Tipton County) people didn’t say Northwest TN. I’d say natives in general won’t use other terms in regards to TN geography. They will use it in reference to a specific city, though.
Of course so many people are pouring into the state now from California, New York, and Chicago that all bets are off as the culture changes while incorporating newcomers.
Bonus fact: Tennessee has 7 distinct geographic regions and is neighboring 8 states.

Around here used to be called The Lemon Capitol of The World. For good reason. I recently talked to an old friend of mine who is a citrus rancher. From the view at his place he now calls it, "The Rooftop Capitol of The World." Oh, well. At least the memories remain.

Too bad for you. So many young people with families here in California want to get out. EVERYBODY?!?! I don't blame them. Destination...... TENNESSEE! I tell them that they won't be able to handle the weather. Humidity etc. I tell them they should consider another Western state just because of the air that they are used to. Anyway, who listens? So many friends, family etc. have moved to the South and then HATE the weather. Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia. They want to come back to California but can't afford it now. They're stuck. Once you leave California you can never come back......too expensive.
P.S. A very large segment of the population in Southern California has generational roots in the Southern states. They're just just going back home to the places where Grandma and Grandpa came from. I don't blame them.

Lol, I don’t have a problem with people moving around. It happens. It’s just odd that they have all chosen Tennessee as their destination all of a sudden.
I think you’re right, people really underestimate the heat and humidity factors if they haven’t faced them before. It’s definitely not for everyone.

While being smart about the personal information we disclose is a good idea we also don’t have to be overly paranoid either. Common sense should prevail. There was a board member who lives in another state who posted satellite images of his house a while back and I knew exactly where he lived. TMI not good.

I don't know what is so funny about it. There is already a thread on "put a face to a name" so we can see what we look like. Now, there is one asking where we live.
