Well, I live in South FL (motto: Hurricanes, OLE!), but I have the distinction of being born in Chattanooga, lived in Knoxville for two years while getting my Master's Degree at UT (GO VOLS!) and spent an extra two years living in Maryville trying to decide where I would go next.
I miss those mountains. Boy, do I ever.
