Matt,
We sell everything under the sun and a few things that aren't.

All jokes aside Atlanta is a great place to live. Just don't move to the downtown area if you would like a yard, peace and quite, or anything like that. Where Motomatt and I live is a little more rural and laid back, but it all kinda depends on where you are moving from. If you are moving from a big city then you will feel right at home, but if you are moving from a small town you may get a little overwhelmed pretty quick. The burbs of Atlanta are the best places to find a nice home, but impossible to get Chinese food at 2 in the morning.
The main thing you have to get used to is the TRAFFIC and the way people drive. Atlanta drivers are horrible added to that that we now have people that want to climb on the busiest overpasses and sit for like 5 hours threatening to jump. All of this while backing traffic up for 3 or 4 miles. One of my friends from out of state says "Atlanta is a great place, just don't drive there." I also had driving in Atlanta described as everyone trying to hurry and be the first one to stop. LOL You would have to come here sometime to get that. But really that is my only complaint here, I just can't stand the way people drive and considering that over 60% of Atlanta are transplants from other cities you can't blame us native born Georgia boys.

I lived in Blueridge for 2 years..It's nice if you like the mountains and want some peace and quiet. Not alot to do really.. The town is sorta old fashioned. They have a few resturaunts.. No major stores though..Ex:(wal-mart,kmart,target,kroger) Their is also a casino about a hour or so away in Cherokee, North Carolina if you like to gamble.
Blueridge is also a "dry" county, meaning you can buy beer but no liquor or whiskey.
If you dont like snakes,deer,spiders,skunks,possums,pit bulls,cows,chicken houses,bears,bobcats and various other wild animals or the smells that go with them... I would consider moving close to town.. Where they dont roam as much.. You are in the Blue ridge mountains.. So it's normal to see this stuff once in awhile..

Blueridge is pretty nice, but it is really out there. You have to drive for at least an hour or 2 to get to a major city. If your from England prepare for 100% culture shock.

Been there, done that - Not in Finland, in the "High Country," the "Rockies" Nice that is, the water is algie free, the fish are sluggish and easy to grab by hand - Nothing better than fresh trout for dinner, caught by hand and still alive when put in the cooler for the ride home -
You ever been cave diving in Belize ??

No, I have never been to Belize. The experience diving under the ice and swimimg between 'snort' holes, focuses the mind. Good to see a senior member surfing through the site. Your experience in the world of DVD burning seems to be very extensive (many thanks for sharing your experience)
