I went to school in Blacksburg at Va. Tech (as you might guess from the handle) and grew up in southern WV. I always loved the mountains and considered buying property in SW VA or Tenn. However, the more I read about the political and religious kooks who predominate in those areas the less that sounded attractive. We ended up staying for a few years in Kentucky then eventually moving to Colorado.
