I am an OR nurse who is relocating to Kingsport in a few weeks from Dallas, TX. We are looking for a more mild climate and slower pace. I have taken a job at Holston Valley. The extreme pay cut was hard to deal with, but we are hoping that the lower cost of living will make up for that somewhat. I was wondering if anyone else has moved to the area from a larger city, and if you could give me some advice about where to live and what elementary schools are the best. Actually, any advice about the area would be great since we only got to spend 48 hours there to look around.
