Oak Ridge

I lived in OR for a few years. Its located about 20-30 miutes from Knoxville and within 20 minutes of Interstate 40. It’s not a very big place but there is a ton of history. The Museum of Science and Energy is pretty cool. OR has a mall and a Wal-Mart, of course. All the things you’d expect from a town this size. Football is big in Oak Ridge. They always have a top notch football program and are regular contenders for the state crown. A high school game in OR has all the excitement and competiveness of a college level game. Be sure to check out the steam plant and the lake area. Great destination for kayakers and canoers. Best advice: Never trust anyone who says you should take a ride to “the valley.” You might not come back…lol
