I can't answer that generally. In my family, one moved because she loves Nashville and got a job there. She convinced the other two to join her. They like the music scene and the lower cost of living and the climate was only a minor change (Hot and humid yes, but no snow).I guess my question then is (rhetorically) what is it about Tennessee specifically that's drawing people? Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of nice things there, but...just seems odd to me.
Like, Dollywood's good and all, but it's not that good.
Memphis has some cool attractions, but when you leave those attractions it's a dump.
Nashville is pretty nice I suppose. And I guess hills and trees are pretty (though California also has those). I guess cheaper cost of living, but why just Tennessee? Why not a more even spread around the South?
I mean, I know that there are lots of parts of the South that kind of suck (and I wouldn't even call Tennessee entirely immune from that either; perhaps not as bad as other places, but still), so maybe that's why. But to me it's just weird, particularly if it's enough of a pattern for In-N-Out to be expanding there over other places that make more sense on paper.
For the record, I've never been there. I can just report what their reasons were.
