I have lived both places as well. IMO, South Florida can't hold East Tennessee's jock. Maybe I'm biased because I was born and raised in East Tennessee.

It's all perception. I grew up in East TN and love it but Miami is one of the best places in the world if you have the money to live in a nice area.

I prefer a place with activity at all times and most parts of TN are dead once it gets dark.

Not to mention that there is no comparison between the women in MIA and TN. TN is also has depressing weather in the winter...I like seasonal changes but can't stand gray skies and drizzle from November to Feb.

I hear what you are saying about having activity and hot girls around all the time. And those factor in to reasons I like Miami. Ultimately, though, after the first few months of enjoying the sight of palm trees, beaches, and hot latin women, I just couldn't help think, "TENNESSEE, TENNESSEE, there aint no place I'd rather be".

Oh, and Danny O! We need your presence.

I agree with you that TN is always on my mind but I prefer to live away from TN so that it's always nostalgic when I come home to visit.

Jay, what you hearing about Danny?

Be thankful every day for the Knoxville winters you had. I used to live there and it is certainly not gray skies for that long. I'm in Michigan now and Knoxville looks like Brazil compared to here. THIS place will make you appreciate the south (ANYWHERE south) to the millionth degree, both weather-wise and culturally.

Me too. Most hurricanes aren't that bad in Florida. They don't tend to sneak up on you and since Andrew, Florida is much more prepared for them. Most people who die in hurricanes in Florida, die from running or testing their generators inside. Self inflicted hurricane deaths. Tornado's are very sneaky though.

That is the truth. Knoxville winters beat the beginning of Michigan springs. As much as I love where im from I hate the weather here. Now on a football note, Ive been to many University of Michigan games and now 2 years of Tennessee games and "The Big House" has nothing on Neyland. From an unbiased standpoint gamedays in Knoxville really can't be beat by gamedays in Ann Arbor.

I agree with most of what you say, but East Tenn whether is not that bad from nov to feb. Maybe jan to feb.

Key line in your statement in "if you have the money to live somewhere nice". I'll take the life a $80k salary gets you in East Tenn over Miami any day of the week.

I lived in Cookeville in 74 when we had the last bad killer tornados in East Tenn. I also had the bad luck of living in South Fl when Andrew hit. I will that the tornados. Back then and still now there is only 1 good road out of S. FL.

It's gotten better since Andrew, but yeah a real bad hurricane can be much worse, you just get way more time to prepare since they take days to get to you.

Foolish. A hurricane hits a wider radius and is worse for a state than a tornado. And you are guaranteed to be hit by a hurricane over a tornado.
