When I planned on moving I would first go to a laundromat that is local to my new home and do a small load of clothes while reading a book. During the 2 hours I would check out what kind of characters would come in, knowing that they probably lived nearby. Also, I shopped at the local supermarket for 30 minutes to check out who is there. If I didn't like what I saw then I would check another neighborhood before committing to moving.
Wait.... I've been to many many many washaterias/laundrymats.... ALL had single moms with their 20+ unleashed kids running around. Do decent laundry mats exist???
Awesome strategy and response! This is very helpful, thanks.
Maybe wear a MAGA hat around town and no mask and see if you get assaulted or thumbs up?
Hahaha that would be a good test. Might have to reserve it for a man braver than me though.
Just conceal carry and shoot them dead when they attempt to assault you.
Pretty sure in TN you can open carry right? I'm in Texas, but I am almost certain TN is one of the most gun-friendly places in the country.
This is the way to do a litmus test!
I never wear a mask. Might get a few looks but no one has said a word except one little old lady at a shoes store.
You will.... unless you are by the university then some woke kids might stare

A supermarket is the best tell of a neighborhood. You can see if it is upmarket on whether or not they lock up the condoms and cosmetics.
Good idea but it in rural cities, even biggish ones like Knoxville regular folks don’t go to landry mats.

Go to a few churches near where you are thinking about living. Talk with the locals.
IIRC, the Knoxville city mayor is a Dem, but the Knox County mayor is Glen fucking Jacobs, the former WWE wrestler. Libertarian-leanings.
I considered the town a while back. Generally speaking it’s a university town in the south, so it can be a swing city.
However, no shortage of based patriots, and you are right outside the smokies. Tons of opportunities to enjoy God’s creation.
Head further east to smaller towns like Kingsport and Johnson City, and you probably have all-Republican elected officials.
