Baton Rouge yes.

Tuscaloosa is very nice, especially downtown and the Riverwalk and amphitheater area.

I have visited Oxford a few times, outside of football season, and it is a very nice town, however, it's one you can get bored in really quick.

The problem with Fayetteville, and the rest of NW Arkansas, is that folks have noticed it is a great place to live. Now it is an increasingly expensive place to live. 20 years ago I'd have told anyone to sell everything they had and buy property up here. Y'all would be millionaires.




It's getting up near Dallas in terms of price in some spots.

As opposed to living in a tent city and shitting in the streets of Knoxville?

Been to about half of these. Athens by a mile, then likely Knoxville. Nashville is great but not a college town. Oxford is cool but extremely limited, it's good for the 'Sip, but average amoung most other places.

Bama’s campus is beautiful and historic. The strip is decent, but the rest of the town is nothing to write home about.


Same for LSU. Except BR has great food.

UT Austin’s campus is extremely underwhelming. OU’s campus is nice. Norman is a good college town.

I’m in west GA and I happen to like Chambers county. It has some of the prettiest farmland in the Piedmont. Also Columbus, GA is underrated. It has a great night life, white collar employment, and two of the best golf courses in GA(Green Island & Columbus CC). It’s 3.5 hours to the gulf and 4 hours to the Atlantic if you like saltwater fishing.

Lexington is plenty rowdy and is absolutely the top spot in the South when Keeneland is in session


Which usually begins the weekend the Gamecocks are in town, and along with the Bourbon Trail it's a great trip.

But it's not the "top spot in the South" by any stretch of the imagination.

It's another SEC destination.

There is no "top spot" in our beloved region ... it's all good.
