Tell Gooser about Mableton Georgia

[David McLendon]

I was born here, and I live here, but the constant spread of lets just say the urban wildlife and activity, plus the influx of hurricane flotsam and jetsom post Katrina in our immediate area the quality of life has gone down and the crime has gone way up. Far away from Atlanta is where you would want to go if Georgia is on your mind. If I weren't already here then I sure wouldn't think about moving here, and with the economy and what I own and can't sell, I'm stuck so pass me the lemons and lets make some more lemonade.

So, For those of you that lived your life in your "Home" then decided in later years to make a change and move to someplace new,,,
Did you, or have you regretted that decision?

I keep getting told, I am spoiled here , and that comes from folks that moved here from other places..

Tell Gooser about the fleas. And cockroaches. And termites. And mold. These are things I don't miss after having lived in Alabama.

I wasn't into dogs back then, but I had the impression that, in Alabama, a lot of the attractive land for hunting etc. was private property. Is that the case at all for Georgia? I drove across it a gazillion times "commuting" between Pennsylvania and Tuscaloosa and it "felt" the same.

There is not a lot of wildlife here, I miss the SE that way. We see a squirrel in the yard here and rejoice. My husband has fantasies about living in Alabama again.

(I hope I haven't hijacked Goosers' thread, I'm sort of curious too.)

[David McLendon]

Gooser the crowd of people out there messing up your Colorado are there because they want to get away from here.

McCall, Idaho would be perfect for me, but I'd have to be single again because my wife would never go for it. Plenty of the things that I like to do, much lower cost of living compared to here so my money would go farther and cold enough to keep the riff raff out.

You forgot the ticks, chiggers and snakes

[David McLendon]

Snakes that's right, you can go with me in March rolling tin at old collapsed home places. Nothing like peeling back a piece of rusty tin on a cold morning and having half a dozen big timber rattlers and copperheads staring at you. Now that's fun.

I would prolly miss the mountains.
Idaho, Wyoming, New Mexico, are all on the list

But,,

Cold is startin to bother me.


Warm climate would be really nice.
I envy you that can train dogs on Water basically all year.
I also envy the size and beauty of the Home I could buy in some places..
Homes like that here are 500,000 or better.

The long winters in Alaska were starting to get to us. The long summers get to me now... Need to be a snowbird...

[Chad Baker]

I feel very fortunate to live in Northeast TN we have 4 seasons, not to hot or too cold for any length of time. We are blessed with lots of rivers and lakes great fishing. Deer hunting is good. Duck hunting is not very good. Lots of farms to train on very little technical water.
