Big Country Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Got a buddy of mine moving there with his family in the next couple of weeks. Any of you familiar with the area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Country Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 Just curious about the area and since he doesn't really know anyone there, figured I'd see if any Huddlers were in the area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westvirginia Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 It's beautiful, clean and mountainous. There is enough industry so it doesn't feel like a third world country, but it's definitely small-town america. One of my favorite motorcycle rides is to go up through Dahlonega and around the mountain through Suches GA, then ride 129 on up to Blairsville (NC border, 40 miles N). Very family friendly. Couple of big parks that have rivers running through them up there, plus he's within an hour's drive of tons of other stuff, and less than 2 hours from ATL if he needs the big city. Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg TN is also around 2 hours away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apathy Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) I don't know the area like WVA but my in-laws have a house in nearby Blairsville and it is a wondeful area. Just make sure your friend owns a pickup truck. When I was younger and most concerned about hanging out with friends every night, the city is where I wanted to be; everything else was rural and boring. As I got older, suburbia was/is the best place to raise my kids, even if the commute was a bit longer. But places like Dahlonega are where I'll hopefully end up one day.

I have no info on the Dolongacowabunga area, but just had to reply to this post. It's so strange but true. Part of me loves city life and Austin is such a neat city with SO much to do. We kinda live up in the 'burbs but it's kind of a ghetto/barrio 'burb, so I'm ready to get outta here. Part of me thinks a nicer suburban subdivision would be the way to go, part of me just wants to move 40-50 miles outside of the city to a place where I can buy a little house built in the 30's or 40's and just live the small town life.

Austin ~ Athens = awesome North GA mountains ~ North Texas = beautiful BC, if you or him got any questions, I got family and friends all over and outside this city and have lived here all my life... Would also be happy to let you know anything I can... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would also be happy to let you know anything I can... NORTH Texas? With all due respect to one of our fearless leaders here, north Texas is a dustbowl. CENTRAL Texas (the hill country) is where it's at. Sorry, don't want to hijack. I do know that that part of Georgia is simply gorgeous.
