Live in Ocala FlI've often wondered what percentage of the folks in this forum live around Knoxville. Or anywhere in the state.
So here's a chance to nail it down a little.
For those of you who are not Vols fans, happy to have you here, but please pass on this poll. The vast majority of you live outside Tennessee, and you'd throw off the profile. Thanks.
Go Vols!
p.s. and EDIT: synthesizing results -- I'll update this if the percentages change significantly --
1. About 10% of us (32 of 308) actually live in the Knoxville area. So we're mostly not a Knoxville crowd. That's perhaps surprising, to some here.
2. Almost two-thirds of us (190 of 308, 62%) currently live in Tennessee. That seems about right, actually.
3. Among those of us who do live in state, we're split 16% west, 34% central, 50% east. That's interesting.
I think lumite, actually went by another name for a while, has something over there. That's actually what I do, I'm a loom fixer at a textile place here. Our company is pretty good, and best paying thankfullyIIRC, Demorest and Baldwin only maybe 5 miles apart. Don't know if still open, but I checked out a job at a textile plant there in Baldwin one time. Come from the north into Baldwin and turn up the hill to the right kinda near the airport.
Our GM's son (When I was at the textile plant in Hartwell) I kinda hung out with him till he side winded me professionally, played basketball at Piedmont.
There's a lot of Vols here in Georgia, but for some reason I'm the only one these goobers call a dawg fan!!Would've been interesting to have had the Atlanta metro in this poll, as well. I suspect it's probably the 3rd largest source of people to VN (behind Knoxville and Nashville), but no clue what % it would be.
