I lived in VA for 10 years. Great state. Great seafood (on the coast), great people, beuatiful country. The weather is much nicer too. Gun culture is VERY acceptable. There is more crime in the larger cities, but that is true of any state. Parts of Richmond, Newport News, DC area are places I would avoid living due to the crime, but again true of any larger city. I love TN now that I am here, but I would not live in parts of Nashville or Memphis.
Living in general in TN and VA is much less restrictive than up north. I did live in Fishkill NY for a year, and hail from New England area. If I had to leave TN, I would hope to end up in Charlottesville or Staunton, VA.
