Message: [QUOTE="Bama fan, post: 2583797, member: 7757"] Nan, I have been to and through the Knoxville area many times. As you probably know, Maryville is about 20 miles south of Knoxville on U S route 129. Maybe 30 or 35 minutes drive on a normal day. Traffic is often heavy in the Knoxville area, but like everywhere is dependent on direction and time of day. If I were his age, I would rather live closer to Knoxville for the quality of life, and suffer the commute to work. Traffic should be toward Knoxville in the morning and conversely toward Maryville in the evening. I am not familiar enough to suggest a particular place to choose, but the above is general advice, fwiw. Good luck in the burgeoning career to your son. My daughter is also an engineer and faced a similar dilemma at her first assignment (not Knoxville btw ) far from home. She found a nice place to start, and then moved to another after her first year when she knew more about what she wanted. [/QUOTE]
