I do not have any strong feelings about Tennessee. Nashville as a city has very little character. It is the country music center of the Universe, has the Grand Ole Opry here, but very little else. Especially as I cannot stand country music. It's not especially beautiful, there isn't a special character to speak of.
If I had to continue living in Tennessee, I would choose Chattanooga.
For me, I want to live in a city, preferably west coast, preferably Silicon Valley/Bay Area or Pacific NW. I have always lived in the South or around majority southern Christians, except for my stint in the Navy in San Diego. That was like a special kind of freedom. I couldn't afford to live there after leaving the Navy, so I came to Middle Tennessee. The cost of living here is fucking amazing, which is why I stay until I get my second bachelors. After that, I go where the job market takes me.
Rooting for you to land that job in/near silicon valley. We'll be neighbors more or less. A lot of techies who work down there have moved into San Francisco. I can show you around some, though I don't get into the San Jose area all that often. Look forward to helping you eat some of that great food you cook, as well as subjecting you to some of my faves.
