Tennessee is a great state (maybe) and a beautiful state (kind of) and a whole lot of fun to visit (?), but there are a few who doubt. Which is why we decided to research it ourselves, and found out there ARE a few strange things that we have to just throw out there. Seventeen of them, in fact. How many do you agree with?
- It’s a landlocked state, so you’ll never find yourself at the waterfront.
Ricky Smith Photography - Facebook Maybe Dayton, Tennessee has this view. Maybe. We’re not going to say…
- And it’s hilly, so say GOODBYE to wide open spaces.
Amy Barnes Elkins - Facebook There are no views, no gorgeous vistas. Nada.
- You should probably just stay where you are.
Lyndsey Metheny - Facebook And leave this godforsaken land to us - we’ve got it.
- You’ll be hard-pressed to find a farm.
Bill Showalter - Flickr As long as you don’t look closely at this picture. It’s not like Tennessee is an agricultural giant in the south at all, nah.
- Or a place to spend the day outdoors.
Richeye Hughes - Facebook We aren’t a state that takes well to hiking or anything like that. You’ll be inside most of the time…
- Or indoors, for that matter.
Denise Rosser - Flickr Actually there’s nothing to do indoors either. We don’t have historic sites by the handful or museums coming out of our ears.
- And you’ll be hard-pressed to find a reputable restaurant.
Chris Connelly - Flickr The Loveless Cafe, Pancake Pantry, let’s just forget about them.
- Eating is virtually impossible.
Eugene Kim - Flickr There’s pretty much nothing to eat unless you’re a vegetarian. So…you’ll have to look elsewhere for delicious fried chicken and macaroni and cheese and cornbread.
- Our wintertime is the absolute worst.
Sean Davis - Flickr It’s not like this is beautiful or anything. Right? Right.
- But our summers? HEINOUS.
rschnaible - Flickr There’s nothin’ to see here, nothin’ to see. If you forget about the humidity this would probably be a dreamland, but who can forget the humidity…?
- We have the highest income tax…well. Ever.
Chris Potter - Flickr We’re just going to let you figure that one out for yourself.
- No one famous lives here.
Larry Darling - Flickr Which means there’s nothing cool about it, right? Right.
- You’ll never find a state sports team.
Rasmus Larsen - Flickr We just really don’t care about sports, you know? especially not football.
- And there are no cities, either.
Thomas Hawk .- Flickr Ugh. Boring. What would you even DO?!
- Where would your kids go to school?
Rough Tough, Real Stuff - Flickr We’ve never heard of “The Athens of the South”…
- Where would you grow old?
J & G Photos - Facebook Certainly not in this dump.
- It’s not like it’s magical here or anything.
Daniel Jack Hutchison - Flickr Nothing picturesque or photo-worthy. You won’t get any good Insta shots out here.
