It's just too snooty for me. Sticking with the Colorado comps, it's Evergreen to me. There's a reason I cashed in my chips and bailed on Evergreen.

Fair. I used to spend a bunch of time down in that general area. I had family that lived in Brevard, Black Mountain and Highlands.

That said, I still prefer NW NC mountains to SW. But I was born and raised in Boone so I'm biased.

Jefferson/West Jefferson is underrated. Really anywhere on the New River is great. Todd fuging rocks and there's nothing there but the river lol.

Yeah, the NW mountains were my primary stomping grounds growing up so that's "home" but I prefer the SW honestly and it's all about less crowds for me. The further west you go into NC the less crowds. The Asheville/Brevard and Boone/Blowing Rock areas are just completely blown up these days.

The eastern Tennessee towns are fairly nice also. Johnson City and Chattanooga, etc

The tri cities area is definitely improving but still has a pretty methy vibe to it IMO.

Chattanooga is a spot that seems like it's stuck in that jo man's land of being big enough to have big city problems but not big enough to offer big city amenities. Feels very haves and have nots to me but my Chattanooga experience is relatively limited so I might be off there.

Johnson City has really invested in revamping it's old industrial/rail oriented downtown and it's beautiful and thriving. Chattanooga is very affordable, working class and fun imo.

Like I feel that Mountain City and Johnson City were in a very similar position 15 years ago. Mountain City has done very little to improve unlike Johnson City. Granted JC is much bigger with more tax revenue.

Eastern Tennessee just overall has a trashier feel to it than western NC IMO. 

Ad yeah, I'm fully aware that this is like Danny DeVito calling someone else short. 😂

No, I understand, but I think it's just implicit bias. As I said growing up in Boone, we used to poo talk anyone from Tennessee as redneck trash. Which is hilariously stupid in hindsight.

I'm really considering liquidating everything that I have and going on all in on this property.

I know the area and property quite well. I work up that way often. I would expect to see this under contract for around 15k per. I hope you don’t mind visiting black bears.

I grew up going to Watauga lake. As I mentioned before, I'm from Boone. I've had property on the lake before. I'm very familiar.

So you know the story of Butler? ETSU pride band recorded a song about Butler year or so ago.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
