Have you been to Pigeon Forge? Because we absolutely, positively LOVE it. For all the great expanse of this lovely state, this city really brings the whole of it to life. A ton of sweet people, gorgeous east Tennessee views, tourists attractions and museums and the loveliest bit of sunshine weather you’ve ever seen. Curious what makes Pigeon Forge the go-to spot for Tennesseans? Take a look!
