Gores Buy $2.3 Mln Home In Wealthy Town Near Nashville

NASHVILLE, Tennessee (AP)--Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore and his wife Tipper have bought a $2.3 million home in Belle Meade, an affluent town of 3,000 people bordering Nashville.

The white frame, colonial-style home sits on a little over two 2 acres (nearly one hectare) filled with magnolia trees. The deed was signed June 17, records show.

Belle Meade, home to an exclusive country club, a botanical garden and art museum, is the fifth-richest town in the United States. The annual per-capita income is $104,908, more than five times the state average of $19,393.

Since Gore lost the 2000 presidential election to George W. Bush, the Gores have split their time between the family farm 40 miles (65 kilometers) east of Nashville, and a home in Arlington, Virginia, that has been in Tipper Gore's family for 64 years.

A Gore spokesman said earlier this year that the couple planned to move back to Nashville.

Gore has been teaching classes at Fisk University and at Middle Tennessee State University. He also has joined a Los Angeles-based financial management firm, and is working on a book.

He plans a retreat this weekend in Memphis at which he could indicate whether he intends to make another run at the White House.

Gore's six topics are: "Family and Community Finances;" "Art, Music and Culture;" "Equity, Justice and Power;" "Responsibility for Progress, Allocating Roles and Creating Partnerships: Public, Private, Business and Faith-based;" "Strategic Communications, the Media and Public Will;" and "Accountability for Results: Mapping Information for the Design, Management and Measurement of Change."

According to the Census FactFinder Belle Meade City is 98.6% White.

Gee, I wonder if the Gores knew that before they bought the house?

Thanks for the info, BTW :)

I guess he's going to let go of some of Dad's money, eh? Looks like he might not think he is going to be moving any time soon!

Hey! Throw two or three dead dogs by/under the porch area there, will ya'? Kinda' ala Jeff Foxworthy.....

[mewzilla]

I'm sure that the Toons, through their notorious negligence, will no doubt be able to fill part of that requirement shortly.

I'd like to ask this gentleman "More what?"

Maybe his sign should just read "Gimme!"
