Have lived in the deep south my entire life. Things went really badly during 2020 and we realized we needed to get out. Started saving and preparing, our plan was to move before the next election.
We have bought a 1920’s farmhouse that still has 9 acres. 100 year old apple trees, blueberries, vineyard. It’s amazing. Part of the land is industrial zoned with power and I’m going to build my machine shop there. We got a steal of a deal, it would be a $500k house and land here.
I bought a '98 Chevy box truck. The boy and I will be making our second trip tomorrow.
No problem! There’s a LOT of coal mining and steel mills and other industrial stuff in this area and it pollutes everything. The Mon river is a lot cleaner than it was when my parents were kids (they’re approaching 50). There’s a creek by me that I kayak in sometimes that I won’t eat anything out of. The water failed numerous tests over the years and most people tell you to not eat the fish lol.
