Prices are going up like many places. Traffic is getting worse. Lots of traffic but roads have not kept up with it. Houses are reasonable but there are the very expensive areas. When we moved here the population was about 75,,000 and now it is hundreds of thousands. I know we want progress but I have different feelings about that. Yankees/liberals are moving in and trying to change this area. I was looking at my old house in the real estate ads which we bought in 1969. I think we paid about $19,000 for it and it recently sold for over $100,000. A relative recently bought a house, 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, etc. think it was a little over $300:000. When I first went to it, I had no idea those houses were even in that area but guess the new people need them. Back in the 1960’s, we lived in that area and there was nothing but cotton fields and other farms. Now, it is houses, businesses, etc. quite a change! I believe it is Dollar General which is building in every area. Most schools are good. I like the area which is about 3/4 hours from my MS hometown.
