Misc 2019 Banter & Friendly Conservation

Yes! I know I'm probably in the vast minority, but I love shorter days and longer nights.


I am! I love warmth but I’m ready for that cooldown to begin :p

Excited for winter in the mountains!

Unfortunately we have a lot of summer still ahead of us


Since I no longer live in SE Wake I’m sure there will be a blizzard there this winter haha

There will be no blizzard here as long as I'm here. ? Where in the mountains do you live? I want to move up there so bad...to the West Jefferson area. Just don't know what kind of work I could do that would support us. My son is autistic and my wife stays home with him. So I have to be the bread-winner, so to speak. The Raleigh area is a really good job market.

Don’t get in to ski resort management in W NC, just don’t!

I just moved to Erwin, Tn in Unicoi county. In the northern Tennessee Valley. Drop out of high country into a valley and that’s Erwin haha

In general income is lower in most areas in the mountains. Erwin is mostly industrial. CSX has a big yard here for coal which got shut down a few years ago and 300 people lost their jobs.

It is coming back as coal is rebounding but we arnt holding our breath.

The other big employer is a plant that makes nuclear fuel for submarines. They can’t find enough people to work there due to the requirements of physics classes.

And Johnson city with ETSU is a 15-20 min drive away. Best of both worlds. Live in the mountains and drive 15 min to a city of 70,000+


But i love the area. I’d recommend it 100%. The stress level in general is just so much lower than Raleigh. Simple stuff. Even just no traffic really brings the stress down.
