approximately 50,000 in the breathtakingly beautiful foothills
of Northeast Tennessee. Over one million people live within a
50 mile radius, placing it among the top 100 Metropolitan
Statistical Areas in the nation. Life is amazingly free of
traffic, litter, commercialism, and other less desirable traits
of larger cities. |

costs, education, health care, recreation, transportation, and the
arts,
Johnson
City has been rated one of the "most livable" areas in the
country. Johnson City has a wide range of cultural and recreational
opportunities. For outdoor enthusiasts, the region contains over
275,000 acres of national forest, the famed

spectacular water falls, and lakes. Over 75 festivals annually
