Here is my story... Today is game day so I have my Miami Hurricanes gear on. I was out running some errands and as I was leaving the grocery store when I see a guy walking in wearing nothing but Auburn attire. He started the conversation by asking me who we play today. I told him North Carolina. We chatted for a bit and then said our goodbyes and good lucks and walked away.
Stuff like that did not happen when I lived in Miami. Mostly speaking, we have a lot of nice, cordial folks that live here in Eas Tennessee. I can't speak for other places in the country but I am reminded of a Dolly Parton song when she sang about friendly people here and other folks don't look at you funny when you strike up a conversation with them.
Just something that I like about living in East Tennesee.
