15 Things Tennessee Needs RIGHT NOW – Before It’s Too Late

Tennessee is a pretty awesome state in itself, but we aren’t too proud to say we could use a couple of upgrades. Take a look at what we thought would blast the state through from awesome to pretty fan-freakin-tastic. What do you think?

15) A beach. A beach would be nice.

14) Main roads that don't feel like backroads.

13) Bugs that aren't the size of Chattanooga.

12) A statewide holiday for CMA Fest - OH the tourists!

11) Some more country in our cities

9) We'd like people to stop moving here - we're full.

10) And while you're at it? Stop raging about Nashville! Have you been to Knoxville, Chattanooga? C'mon now.

8) A dehumidifier - for the whole state.

7) An Ikea closer to EVERYONE than Memphis.

6) In-N-Out, because all states should have it. Just sayin'

5) Zero-calorie mac 'n cheese

4) Better chain stores - we just BARELY got H&M and Madewell. Time for an upgrade!

3) Snowplows for the two days a year it snows and shuts down the entire state. Thanks.

2) More tourists! Just kidding no. We don't mean that.

1) A new reputation: Tennessee is one of the most dynamic, solidly traditional and successful states out there. We don't just have potential: we ARE potential.
