I feel as if I’m going against popular opinion here, but …
you have to remember that K’ville IS a college town, and TN fans are definitely “fanatical” about their sports and their “Vols.” On autumn weekends, traffic is more of a parking lot than an interstate. I consider the area rather dirty and congested. Even though there are some beautiful areas out in the surrounding mountains, the city and adjoining suburbs would not be in my top-ten of places to choose to live.

Yeah… 6 or 7 days a year is an absolutely good reason to trash a location.
More to the point, it is only for a couple of hours on those 6 or 7 days of the year that the traffic is bad. And, if you know what you are doing, which is not really hard, you can even manage to get where you want and avoid the traffic at the same time. Most people, though, just schedule around it so that it is not a problem anyway.
Being a college town also brings some positive points too. It enhances the cultural opportunities and the youthful vitality of the city, for instance. Knoxville is a good place to raise a family. But then, many places can be. It is simply a matter of what you put into it. You can make it what you want to. Or not. If you prefer to be negative.
