Looking for moving advice

Have the 9 year old checked. Something must be wrong.

He’s awesome

I’m out in effingham and it isn’t bad. Actually nice. And great schools. Mine are 12 and 10.

Lot of land in the north side of the county - guyton/clyo area. As I said, one of the top school systems in the state.

Sounds good

Upstate SC isn’t bad. You could probably find property in Oconee county which is damn near state line. Laurens county is further out but closer to Greenville.

Lew come to Aiken, or Lincolnton up by the lake

Watkinsville. Lots of large tracts of land, Oconee County School System is one of the tops in the state.

Come down a little south to Shellman Bluff

Gordon, Catoosa and Whitfield counties in NW GA are generally considered affordable. Particularly around Trenton, Chickamauga, Dalton and Chatsworth. I’ve looked at buying land in Gordon Co along the Cumberland Plateau in the past since it was competitively priced to property on the TN side.

Most of the folks I know in Dalton are not crazy about the school system (Whitfield Co). Place has seemed like a crime hotspot as of late. Lot of gang activity is often in the local news.

If you prefer the Blue Ridge Mountains, I really enjoy Hiawassee, Blairsville and Clayton. The wife spent a lot of time in Clemson this year doing medical contract work so we stopped at these towns often during our commutes. But I don’t know much about what land runs in these areas-I just know I wouldn’t mind living there.

My old stomping ground and when I go back to visit…man it’s gotten rough. Not the same as back in the day.

My memory of Chatsworth as a kid was definitely better than what it looks like now. It doesn’t look much different from parts of Dalton these days. I do like the areas just outside of town though.

I always thought the land between Calhoun and Chatsworth on 225 or along 411 up by Carter’s was pretty. Rolling but not too severe. If I came back I’d shoot for that or something near Ellijay.

Really nice drive through there. I much prefer Ellijay over Chatsworth or Dalton.

BTW had a lot of good times at Yesterday’s in Chattavegas back in the olden times.

Nice! Don’t know many people who are familiar with Yesterday’s. I don’t recall when they closed that place down, but I used to drive by the building regularly with the sign still intact when I worked for the Chattanooga Times - just a few blocks down the road. They recently renovated the place into an apartment complex with several businesses where the bar used to be-think they renamed it the “Tomorrow Building”.
