I moved from Knoxville to SF about half a year ago. Knoxville is definitely quirky in ways that I haven’t found in other cities, and I like the physical terrain (little rolling hills) better than Nashville. For some reason, I’m not a fan of flat cities.
Knoxville’s downtown area is very different (culturally and politically) than Knoxville’s suburban areas. I would never want to live somewhere like Farragut, but some of the older, more historic neighborhoods near downtown are becoming quite interesting. Still no tech, unfortunately, which is why I moved, but in terms of just generally nice places to live in the south, Knoxville and Asheville are probably my two favorite cities.

We have tech, but it isn't an overwhelming driving force, and it's heavy on the enterprisey side. If you know C#/Java/Javascript you won't have any trouble staying employed.
