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.

      They gave him franchise QB money. Sorry but if you don't earn it you can be embarrassed.   He's rich he can take it. Stop feeling sorry for people who can't live up to their contract. This isn't a sport to be soft. Daniels deserves to give back some of that money he stole if you ask me.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And it was coming off of a bye week. Perhaps he should vacation a bit in Germany in the off season, something certainly seemed to help him there.  No, really... He showed maturation and the possibility that he's turning a corner. That wasn't the NY Giants out there, but the back to back Super Bowl champions with the #3 defense in the league, with them coming off of a prime time loss. And that was a 9-1 team we just played literally down to the last second. Bryce played so well that maybe, maybe he wins over some nay-sayers. It's still early, though, but what a nice breath of fresh air that was. You can win quite a few games if that is your normal performance. It is obvious that we are still on the learning curve, though. But that was one helluva test he just took. Some of these QBs coming out of college just don't have a lot of games under their belts, especially in top end programs. They are perhaps just a year to two years behind center in games that matter before they move up. It can take them some time to hit their stride. We can still be cautious about our future and still celebrate a great game by the kid, though, and we should. He earned the laurels today, or had before they were snatched away at the last second.
