Both have beautiful spots, both have ugly spots. Where I lived in TN was the ultimate pits, but Eastern TN is verrrrry beautiful, more so than all the places Ive seen in KY. Both are cheap to live in and have similar weather for the most part... my vote goes to TN, slightly.

yea Eastern TN is what gives me a slight edge over KY, very beautiful
It depends, though they are neighboring states and share many common similarities, the system of government for both states are very different, which eventually will change the face of both states and has already. As you mention UK has dropped significantly in recent years due to its increased enrollment and beauracracy, while UT pretty much remains the same. My vote is for Tennessee and the state flag pretty much sums it up. The three stars represent the three "states" of Tennessee, West Tennessee, Middle Tennessee and East Tennessee, where I am moving soon.

The one thing Kentucky lacks that TN has is a vibrant metro area in the Appalachians. London/ Corbin is a growing micropolitian area, but Knoxville is a good sized city with great views of the smokeys.
I voted for both. I think they are both very beautiful states. Although my older son is a huge Tn fan and hopes to one day play football for them,lol. So maybe then my opinion will change

That's true, although there are actually 3 mid-sized metro areas in Tennessee that are in the Appalachians: Knoxville (700,000), Chattanooga (500,000) and the Tri Cities (500,000).
Here's Kingsport (one of the "Tri Cities," the other two cities are Bristol--which is half in Virginia--and Johnson City):
Pikeville is indeed beautiful. But it's got a population of only about 6,300 and is not in a metro area.
