Blackburn as a cross between Kelly Bundy and Cruella DeVille. I'll have to remember that!
And yes, you called it--Farragut was where we lived. Pretty area and I liked my home but once our grand daughter was born there was no way we were trekking back and forth between Knoxville and the Philly suburbs. Been there, done that for more years than I like to remember.
We moved right after the initial Covid crisis eased, then spent 18 months finding permanent housing up here. But in the end, it was worth the expense and nerve-wracking work. Get to see my kids on a regular basis now and then the grand baby, of course.
I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
