I think every city, especially if you have never been, is fun to see/check-out. Not too far from there (south) is Union City, TN, where they have 'Discovery Park'. Very interesting...... they have everything, an aquarium, car collection (very nice), military collection (tanks, vehicles, guns, etc.) and lots of things for kids. It will take at least two days to make a dent to check-out the majority of what they have.
Just don't speed anywhere in Union City (electronic ticket camera's). :R
Safe travels,
