Start by getting off internet message boards and go meet some people. I know a single girl that is 129 lbs, but since that is outside your acceptable range, I'll assume you pass.

I'm retired and can live anywhere....at this phase of my life my family and close friends are scattered all about....so I live on Norris Lake...on the water...secluded....in the woods....can't see or be seen....closest restaurant/grocery store is a boat dock that may or may not be open when you arrive...closest neighbor is almost a half mile away...

The thing is I have lived 30 minutes outside of Basalt, Colorado for all my youth next to Ruedi reservoir. The closest store of any kind was 30 mins away and anything like wal mart, target, lowes was an hour. Kind of sick of that and want to get closer to some action.

In Tennessee, where would it be?


I am moving back to Tennessee (originally from Memphis) and I have heard a lot of bad things about Memphis these days. I personally have always liked Memphis but i haven't been around for longer then a couple weeks since I moved away 16 years ago.

So i need some advice where the best spots are.

I'm 24, single male
Make around 50-60k per year
looking to rent for a year first then buy
like girls age 20-27, 5'4"-5'8" 97-128lbs that are southern
Never been to Neyland so plan on getting season tix
like to ride dirt bikes and shoot varmints.
kind of shy

What are some possible options?

I was born in Johnson City, went to UT and love East Tennessee. However, if you are 24 and single looking for girls and night life, there is absolutely nothing better in TN than Nashville. Don't know how you can't see that

You're right, I see nowhere on his list where he talks about night life. He talks about riding dirt bikes and shooting varmints. Yeah, Nashville eats his requirements up. How could I miss that?

I would take the Tri Cities or Chattanooga. All sorts of rural farm and mountain land to ride dirt bikes and go hunting and southern women fitting your requirements aplenty. There's also still plenty of bars, live music, restaurants, shopping, etc in both. Plus, the Tri Cities is an easy hour and a half drive to Neyland. I'm biased to it because my heart is still there, but Chattanooga is fun too. Plus, in Chattanooga you get the Lookouts. The Tri Cities just has Appy League Rookie Ball.

I live in East Tennessee. Personally I rank Nashville the second best city in the Southeast behind Orlando.

So you like tourist dumps. Got it Gramps. If that's your thing, go for it. It doesn't seem to be the OPs mold.

I was curious as to why gramps was fond of Orlando. Ive been to Orlando, and every person I spoke to said you had to go to Tampa to have real fun.

Best southern city is a tough question. I would probably go with Nashville, Charlotte or New Orleans.

Chattanooga is starting to look like a legit option. In your opinion why these places over Knoxville?

Is Charlotte on your list for any reason that doesn't involve racing? I really like it, but I don't know that I can say best Southern City.

Charleston, Savannah, Boone and Asheville are the names that immediately come to mind for me.

I like the Tri Cities (other than it's where my heart still resides) because it's big enough to offer all the city luxuries I want, but it's so easy to get away from it. Watauga Lake, South Holston Lake and Boone Lake are all very close by. So is Boone and Asheville. Plenty of places to sneak off to, but plenty to do in the area too.

Thanks for the insight. I'm going to research the area more.

A tourist dump is Pigeon Forge/ Gatlinburg. It is nearby and the wife and I go there several times per year.

Orlando and Nashville are big tourist areas but both have much more going on. There are plenty of places in the Nashville area the OP can go ride and shoot
