Most of the local jobs aren't too high paying, so you may need an extra side job to compensate. Plus, you're almost two hours away from Nashville so commuting for work is out of the question. On the other hand, Cookeville has a couple main shopping districts where a lot of the stores are, and they're close together so it doesn't take long to drive between them. Jackson Plaza, the main shopping center, is probably the best area in Cookeville.

The summers are very enjoyable, and there are a lot of activities and performers in the area, so you'll probably be able to hear a lot of local country singers. Read Less
