GEORGIA???

At least look at the northern parts with mountains, unless you have an aversion to them.

I live in Western NC and its about the most peaceful place on earth

**sagedil** · 26-09-09, 09:50 PM

I too would vote for NC. Yes, Northern parts of Georgia are "different" And good in some ways. But the most frightening backwards people as a group I ever met. In many ways, far more frightening to me than anyone else I ever met in the south.

I have an ex-girlfriend from there. Spent some time there with her family and friends. Never a place I could ever live.

But NC is just wonderful, peaceful in most parts, even Raleigh is the least stressful city I ever lived in.

I've heard good things about Tennessee. The work situation isn't the best, but I don't think that's an issue in your case. Houses are cheap to buy, and it sounds very laid back. If it weren't for the heat, I'd be all over it.

Most of whats left of my family is in the process of moving there. The Peachtree City area. But I can't live IN Peachtree city because of the birds. I'll be about 30 minutes out into the wilderness. Property is way cheaper in Georgia and the taxes are only a small fraction of what I'm paying now. Heres a link to 2 homes that we are interested in. So much for downsizing. Just have to exchange the horses for parrots............

If you can find work and dont mind snow Michigan has some great woodsy properties. Theres no big mountains or anything but being surrounded by the great lakes theres lots of fun hunting and fishing areas.

I lived in Tennessee for 20 years. There is some beautiful country there, no state income tax but you'll pay somewhere between 9-10% sales tax and that includes paying it on food.

We live about 4 and a half hours from Atlanta. East Side!!!!!

**lxskllr** · 27-09-09, 06:08 AM

Of the 2, I like the first one best. I like the dark wood inside :^)

**Jason** · 27-09-09, 06:52 AM

You and Xobe in the same state.......are the cops on alert yet? :P

Seriously though, I've been through Georgia many times; it's a nice state. My parents live in Tallahassee, which is fairly close to the state line, and they like to drive up there on occasion.

**RobsanX** · 27-09-09, 08:02 AM

At least you're getting the fack out of Illinois! HAH! :lol:

I have to share a quick story with you all, it will explain a lot about me and my family....

So, in spring of 2008, we decided to take a "local" family vacation instead of going to Minnesota or California to see family.

I scoured the net looking for places and heard on NPR an interview with some lady who ran the lost luggage store in Alabama.

It clicked, it would be priceless I thought. I am an avid fan of reusing perfectly good items, heck, most of our furniture in the past came from goodwill, half way out of necessity and halfway in support of a great organization.

So, back to the trip.

I planned it out, researched it at their website and felt it passed the muster of what would amuse my wife, my 16 year old son, my 14 year old daughter and my 12 year old son.

My wife and I took the time off from work and off we went. The drive was incredible! We drove out the ass end of North Carolina into Chattanooga TN and then directly south into Alabama and on to the Lost Luggage Store.

We got there at about 3 in the afternoon and were a bit surprised. For some reason we got the impression that Scottsboro AL was a nice sized city based on the web sites we checked, and we got the impression that the lost luggage store was a bit bigger that it actually ended up being. Scottsboro is a pretty county town from our estimation and the lost luggage store is a funky smelling den of blue haired retired ladies looking at Gucci and Prada bags.

Not all was lost though. My kids still look at me with that awed sense of amazement that only their dad can be so absolutely amazingly odd to think that this would be a good family event :P (in my defense, my kids will ALWAYS remember this vacation, and just for that reason, it will be the most epic vacation of all time, plus, there was not a single family fight the whole time, which, while not completely odd for us as we all do get along very well, is pretty amazing considering the content of said trip)

Oh, I did save the day as we went out for chinese food, then back up to Chattanooga and spent the next day at the Aquarium downtown there

I'll save the story about the pillow fight, pillow farts and REALLY bad gas for another time
