Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 We do like Murfreesboro! Lots of interesting Civil War history here-you can stand on the field where the battles took place. We went to a live history display on New Years, it was so interesting. But we moved here from small town, AR! So I guess I just expected this town to have everything, you know the big city and all! : ) Nashville has Wild Oats, but I feel like using that much gas to buy stuff is contributing to killing the environment! I do combine trips, and hit the big time stores all in one day about once a month! I have never been to Augusta? I have been to Atlanta and Savanah, though they were both cool cities in different ways. Never imagined I'd be living in the south ( I grew up in Cleve, Oh and lived in Cincinnati for a looooong time, yep, I'm one of those Yankees : ) melissa p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Yep, the woods 're literally full of history around Murfreesboro, aren't they? I can see that you'd think everything would be there, comin' from a small town in Arkansas. Ohhh yeah. <laughs> If you combine and consolidate trips, like you said, you could go to Whole Foods and get a passle of stuff. Take your ice chest (that's what we Southerners call a " cooler " , LOL) with you and just stock up. That's what dh and I are gonna do tomorrow when we sally forth to 14 Carrot. Woo hoo! I cain't wait (typin' the way I talk). Augusta is between Savannah and Atlanta. It's full of history in its own right, and its claim to fame right now is the Masters Golf Tournament. But--if you're not a golf fan, and I'm not--there is so much more to it. They're tryin' to diversify and draw more folks to come here with other avenues for tourism. And there sure is a lot to do that with! BEAUTIFUL old houses and buildings, gracious folks, history by the boxful, farms that grow stuff organically and will sell to you for a price/U-pick-em farms, (when the season starts in April, dh and I'll be hittin' the produce trail! lol) lovely green areas all throughout Augusta proper...on and on I could go but that'll give you a little taste of Augusta. :>) And we've only lived here about three months now! You're a Yankee, huh? Well...I reckon that's all right. <BG> My dh is a Northerner too. I'm a native Texan, but part Tennessean too, on my Mother's side. I lived up North in Pennsylvania and NY State for seven years with dh till I got so plumb homesick for the Southland I could hardly stand it. He saw I'd never be happy till I got home, so with the Lord's help he found a job first in Florida...and now here...and we LOVE it here, want to stay here till we pass from this life. It's already *home*. It's soooo much quieter and slower in pace than the bright lights and freneticness of Orlando. Which is what we like...peace and quiet...ahhhhh!
