I've been thinking the same - even started looking at homes near Chatanooga. One of my buddies & his family moved there a little over a year ago - his wife had a job transfer that necessitated they move there. They love it so far, & I've been keeping an eye on their weather there. WAY more mild than Michigan - I think I could handle that climate much better than here. Only thing keeping us here now is friends that we would hate to leave. My family now consists of a brother in PA. My wife has sisters left here now, but I think she could move away.

Anyway, to our TN. members here, what do y'all think about Chatanooga area?
