Knoxville and Chattanooga are rated number 1 and 3 worst cities in the U.S. for allergies and Asthma.
Not that I wouldn't love a new quilty neighbor! Pollen is bad here because of the topography. With mountains surrounding the cities nothing gets blown away by the wind. I live on the Cumberland Plateau and what little pollen and particulate matter does get out, I swear, blows right past my house.
