YEP!!! I just moved back to Tennessee from Florida. I got tired of trying to learn spanish just so I could converse with the paperboy, drugstore clerk, grocery clerk...etc. Plus, the HOT. HOT HUMID summers. Most of my neighbors never stepped foot outside during the day. Beautiful place to spend the winter tho.
