- Unsweetened tea just isn’t tea.
Pen Waggener / Flicker The sugar makes it real, folks.
- Best music in the nation? Tennessee has it.
Jon Elbaz / Flickr Every kind of music. From Elvis to Dolly, all the way to Timberlake.
- Plus the fried chicken rivals any in the south.
Niall Kennedy / Flickr Mhm. We went there.
- You’ll never get over a view in the Great Smoky Mountains.
steviep187 / Flickr East Tennessee is stunning, and so underappreciated.
- Family is the foundation of a good life, and Tennesseans know it.
Hotlanta Voyeaur / Flickr They make you who you are.
- Plus home cookin’ is the best kind of cookin’ out there.
Jaina / Flickr Nothing is quite the way mama makes it, is it?
- Everyone is kind, in and out of church.
Andre Benedix / Flickr We love to be neighborly - and we’ve tied with Missouri as the most neighborly state!
- And Nashville doesn’t encompass ALL of Tennessee.
Kyle Simourd / Flickr Memphis, Knoxville, Chattanooga?!?!
- Even though it is pretty cool.
Robert S. Donovan / Flickr (Be ready to be swarmed by college kids, though!)
- Ol’ Rocky Top will forever conjure memories of home.
sarath kuchi / Flickr It’s the sound of childhood.
- And newcomers will never regret a move.
Alistair Nicol / Flickr We promise.
- You shouldn’t be scared of voicing your opinions as a football supporter.
Brent Moore / FLickr This guy and his lawn sure aren’t!

- The humidity is unbearable.
Jim Denham / Flickr We just wear it well.
