How did you like living in Tapai?
Heard many good things about it, but I've only been in the airport 6 times lol.

I was there when Carter got us kicked out. Good times.

Yeah nice area, although Hartwell was not my favorite place. If we had not moved up here to the farm, we probably would have moved up around Cleveland area. Preferably some where easily accessible to Frogtown, Wolf Mountain, and Monte Luce wineries. lol. Our Freudenberg-NOK salaried xmas lunch treat was at Monte Luce (we were told before hand not to go back to plant). I had a few glassfuls.

IIRC, 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.

I'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.

Covington Chargers > Brighton Cardinals

About 14 years ago I coached the Dodgers with Greg. We played at the park behind the old Brighton school; next to the Fire Dept. That was before they added the soccer fields.

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.

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 thankfully

There's a lot of Vols here in Georgia, but for some reason I'm the only one these goobers call a dawg fan!!
