Thanks for the info, definitely more positive than negatives to living in the tri-cities area. That's why I chose to move here from northeast Pa. Hoping to find a home in the Greenville area soon!

Thanks for the video! Currently researching the area to help me decide whether I should apply for a position at the University.

Lol! You're the first person I've heard use the term "suicide birds" other than us. must be an east of the Rockies experience. We never saw them on the West Coast but when we moved to Kansas they are everywhere! We're considering a move to your area next so we're watching lots of videos about it. Thanks for the great content you put out!

I grew up in Gray, I've been around J.C. all my life. It's still nice,but getting over crowded imo. I live in Stoney Creek TN for 12 years,and it's very nice sometimes the occasional addict to deal with but pros def out weigh the cons.

If folks can't handle all the things you listed they pretty much need to move out of the United States because that stuff is everywhere

Great talking with you today Tiffany! Thank you or your informative videos!

Hey Tiffany, do you do rentals?

Our last day here is today and we loved this area!! We will retire in 8-10 years. I have so many pics of cows on mountains! I’m excited about the access to quality beef. I’ll need a well and water softener though. City water kills my skin! Love this area and these are my kind of people!

The Draco Family Crest next to your head tells all you want to know about Tennessee and is plenty of reason to not move there. Halloween has unpredictable weather? You have to mow your lawns in the summer? The amount of missing children may be an actual problem.

This isn’t very convincing. I’m still moving there.

Born and raised here and it's pretty laid back. I was surprised that roadkill was even mentioned, cause unless there's literally none other places, I've never heard it was more than normal here. Animals aren't crazy just lots of hills and winding back roads that do have deer. The wasp and bees is probably cause you have flowers in your garden. If these reasons are troubling to you don't move here. Not intolerant but we definitely aren't politically correct

I've been living in the city for 10 years of my life so far. Today we got our first tornado watch in 7 years. Doesn't mean we're moving out.

You like it better than the Knoxville area?

We get way more rain in Louisiana than y’all do up there so our grass needs to be mowed every other day lol. Good Lord willing I will be moving up there in about two years.

Rains on the 4th of July - every time!

Don’t think those deer are native to Tennessee, just sayin’…

I live not to far from you in Claypool hill va and I lived in Bristol for bout ten years. I've always heard this rumor and figured I'd ask, isn't Johnson City one of the gayest communities per capita in america? I've heard this rumor for so long but never actually asked anyone or researched it. If true it could be a selling feature?

I love the video of Johnson City

Except for the wasps, this was a promotional video for the Johnson City area as far as I'm concerned... I want to drive up there just to spend a couple of hours in Walmart calling the service desk so I can hear, "Call line one"... 😆 Thanks Tiffany... 😁 Blessings from Memphis... The real South West...

I only know of this town because it is home of the corporate office for my credit card.

We have roadkill everywhere here in Northwest Ohio. No biggie.

Johnson City was the most depressing city in the country in 2011. USA Today.

I don't see any more road kill, bees, and old barns than I have anywhere else. As new residents we love JC.

cheers

Ok you convinced me, I'm not moving 😂

Sounds a lot like SWVa, we spent 20 years there and my SO loved it

This video is CUTE! lol and kinda funny. I recently left the Marine Corps and I’ve been all over as well, so I think most of these things are normal everywhere. Maybe not the Walmart PA, and suicide birds lol, but most everything else. It’s helpful to hear about even the smallest grievances though when you’re trying to move from another state! Thanks for the tidbits ma’am. 😄

i have lived here all my life been in a lot of other countries but the tri cities area is GOD's country the only down fall is other people coming from other states and bringing there smart ass attitude with them not to mention all the traffic and all the pretty rollin hills are turning into ugly apartment complex's and the big wheels that run the county and city are calling for more people we need more people the out of state people has screwed up their town now they are working on Johnson City and the surrounding aera's PERIOD😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

it's the PEOPLE (drivers) that are crazy, Ma'am. (not that animals* (they are just trying to live*) (please take note of that. Everyone 🙏 - (we can all do better. And...we need to*) ( ty....***)

The cigarette part is not cool I hate cigarette smoking. But it's all over you can only try to avoid it😢

Love the info, moving to the area in May 2022

So..no road kill in the rest of the US?

No disrespect, but a lot (most) of the issues you bring up are of some importance to some, but cost of living (not everyone is a “professional”)and crime are of great importance to nearly everyone. If you’re not feeling safe, what good are all the other issues? D’oh!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed living near Johnson City. It's a hidden gem in TN! It was beautiful and family-friendly, and love a weekend drive through the country! 😊 🐑

I plan on moving out that way in 3-4 months. Definitely considering Johnson City!

Is Johnson City smal city or big

Yeah, I can handle that. Be there in June.

I'm from So Cal but I would hate lots of cigarette smoke. 😢 But we wouldn't be out and about much probably. Lol We also really wouldn't care about Halloween. We are Christian so we don't celebrate Halloween. 🫣 Wasps freak me out also. I'm guessing that's anywhere in TN pretty much....? That isn't urban. And we don't want to be in an urban area. Barns only bother me if they are ill-maintained. But I'd rather have freesom than worry about that.

Great video! Are you sure that it is not a carpenter bee instead of a bumble bee?

"We" how dare you

Johnson city isn't bad and I never see dead animals were I live in Johnson city which is mountain city and I don't know if your talking all of Johnson city or not and I've only seen about 2 abonded barns in my time living here which has been my whole life

OMG this is so true

This is pretty much anywhere in America

I've past few people after hitting a deer. No fun. every now an than a bear.

Cool video. Henry Johnson is my 5th great grandfather, the history and culture here is so cool if you take the time to learn about it. I live on the country side of the town, nowhere else I'd rather be. I would add one more to the list. Many people from up north have moved here lately and they're kinda rude lol. Once the get used to the slower way of life it smooths out but I hear 'im from state up north and this isn't how we did things there'. I reply every time with....you aren't in state up north now, you're in Tennessee. If you've moved to Johnson City and you're reading this, welcome to our slice of heaven. Glad you're here!

I love that country accent

I want to leave Cali and thinking of this place

Is colored Hispanic allowed in TN?

Very nice little light hearted vid. Good job

Hey nothing was offensive on any level. 😁

This was a really weird video. These were very odd reasons to avoid pretty much anywhere...as if squirrels wait for your car to pass, other areas have different weather on Oct. 31st and they don't need weekly mowing. ??????????? 🤨🤔🙄

I moved away because of the opioid problem.

Mowing grass? Seriously? This is just silly.

I live in Johnsen city she is pt lying But so

Sounds like any other part of TN.

I live in in JC... come on people I haven't met a person yet who doesn't love it here

Lived here my whole life and love it. Still plan to move to a coastal sc town one day though. Johnson City isn’t bad, but we could do without all the democrats moving in from cali and NYC… but oh well. Boones Creek where I live is a wonderful area. As is Gray.

I live in Johnson City all the time in Tennessee my favorite place to live except Kingsport I always go to Kingsport love the traffic lights love rather crossings respect traffic lights replace abandoned traffic lights with new ones

So what

Sounds like a perfect place for me . We average 47 inches of rain a year . Plus another 46 inches of snow .. North East Tennessee seems like a paradise . Looking forward to visiting soon .

HA HA! Johnson City is soft, come to Florida and get a taste of some REAL PROBLEMS.

Hand me that poke.

Hey darling, I grew up with country boys. Our definition of road kill is pulling over and shooting a buck. If you thought smoking is bad, lots of my friends dip and chew tobacco. Cutting grass, well that’s as ritual as going to church lol. Country accent lol. My friends would say, they talk normal and it’s yall that talk funny. If living in the city with crime and traffic and pollution doesn’t bother you, no reason for you to come out and meet well mannered friendly people. Not a single incident of road rage, everyone says excuse me, holds door open for you etc etc. It’s a 2nd free state. Doesnt tolerate that pedophile Hollywood shyt. Lots of churches everywhere. If you do some of that shyt with someone’s kids, they might not call the cops and just shoot you. How conservative is Tennessee? De Santis won with a 65% state approval rate. Only person to score higher than that was Governor Lee at 70%. Most of the people out here are pro constitutional rights. If you can’t handle that then don’t come out here.

Don't move here.😢

Stop trashing johnson city. . Your video sucks. I live in johnson city and it's an awesome place to live. Wouldn't wanna be living anywhere else.

Road kill is great here in Tennessee because we can eat it and that means you don't have to go out hunting. What bothers me in these parts is you hardly ever see a woman with a chaw of tabacco in her jaw now days..

This has to be the most whiney, petty, videos I've ever seen.

I'm going to guess you haven't lived in Johnson City very long so don't start talking shit until you can back it up Johnson City Washington county is awesome

Hmu
