Morristown, TN was my hometown but I've nothing much to say about that thoroughly Republican place other than it's much cleaner than most cities it's size (32K). And it has a neat little airport where Harrison Ford flys into once and awhile. His in-laws live there in a nice home out on Cherokee Lake, the lake where I learned to water ski.

We've lived on the coast of Virginia for many decades but long for those mountains, so we bought a few acres of mtn. top property w/ a fantastic panoramic view of the Smokies in Walland. We feel extremely lucky and were planning to build a home there when my hubby retired. But now the interest rates are so high that we now can't afford to build. We'll wait until they come back down, if we don't croak first.

Many yrs ago we wanted to have a second wedding in Cades Cove. It's such a special place. We totally understand your wife's feelings.
