You down Hampton way?

I'm in central Cobb/ Vinings. At least it's old money and not the nouveaux riches, and there are no subdivision covenants or homeowners' agreements (all expired on the old 21 year limit). But we're just here for the schools - my husband is already eyeing land in West Cobb - Paulding with an eye to expanding his amateur radio antenna farm as soon as the kids finish school. We're really country folk at heart - both families were dirt farmers back into the dawn of time, just moved to the big city to get an education and find a job . . .

No, further south than that. Forstyh georgia. Monroe county. It's still agrarian in its outlook, but all our old money has died off down here and their aires all went to fancy boarding schools in New England, then Harvard and Yale, and then Wall Street. No one here ever knew them, and they never knew anyone here except their family. So properties are being sold off right now. If I had a choice between golf course community and one acre plots zoned for double wides, I'd take the double wides everyday of the week.

As for ATL and it's burbs, I'm like Lester with the blacks. As you said, it's more theoretical than practical. I've loved reading your posts tonight btw.
