Nature is King in Kingsport, TN: A Mini Mall Tour
Have you ever wondered about the locations behind those stunning screensaver backdrops? We have a feeling that some might come from the Southern Appalachian region. The views are beyond impressive, with seemingly endless forestland and the famous Appalachian Mountains.
This week, we’re touring as closely as possible while staying small-town enough to avoid the traffic jams often accompanying such popular spots—welcome to Kingsport, TN! Tucked away less than two hours from the Appalachian Mountains, Kingsport is a small town brimming with potential. As always, Mini Mall is your local self-storage expert and tour guide. With so much to do and see in the great outdoors, we barely need to step inside.
