Have lived in the deep south my entire life. Things went really badly during 2020 and we realized we needed to get out. Started saving and preparing, our plan was to move before the next election.

We have bought a 1920’s farmhouse that still has 9 acres. 100 year old apple trees, blueberries, vineyard. It’s amazing. Part of the land is industrial zoned with power and I’m going to build my machine shop there. We got a steal of a deal, it would be a $500k house and land here.

I bought a '98 Chevy box truck. The boy and I will be making our second trip tomorrow.

Doesn’t Pennsylvania have annual inspections? I bet that helps.

Georgia has Atlanta and lots of big companies, so that helps keep things a little more sane. Blue cities in the south have a very different feel from blue cities elsewhere.

Yeah, they do have inspections and that is probably what does it.

Atlanta is great, culture wise, but fuck driving in that abomination. Peach Tree!

Huntsville was our more progressive city, but it has really changed, and not in a good way.

With all the companies and people moving to Atlanta, if anything it keeps getting more progressive while staying almost as religious as the rest of the state.
