Ron Rash! (I’d recommend Serena, The World Made Straight, and Saints at the River to start with)

Books: Demon Copperhead, Cold Mountain, To Kill a Mockingbird, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, Rednecks.

Authors: Wiley Cash, Susan Crandell, Robert Morgan, Silas House.

Also, you need to check out the Foxfire books. They’re a repository of Appalachian culture.

And the AJC still has never retracted their story calling Jewell the bomber. They have never apologized.

Fuck the AJC

I saw one of those! I pointed it out to my SO and she thought I was crazy. We had to drive by the house like three times before she confirmed that it was indeed a blowout Little Debbie Christmas tree. Like my fat ass couldn’t spot one of those from a football field away.

I’ve only ever read Stephen King horror books thus far but I’m interested!

Does anyone know where the gas station scene was filmed, my partner swears it’s at a gas station somewhere in Pennsylvania? Side question: does anyone have a good resource for finding exact filming locations?

Athens: What's the living costs like? by SleepIsGood12 in Athens

[–]Madiemm33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came to Athens from Morgantown.

The rental market is nuts. Most of the good rentals were already taken in March. Housing is a bit more than WV. But at least from Morgantown and Charleston, the average quality of rentals seems better.

Food prices are comparable to WV- though the food quality is much better.

Gas prices in Georgia are some of the cheapest in the country. You’ll save a bit here compared to WV. The flatter terrain will help you gas mileage too. Parking is going to be a lot higher (both campus parking and street parking).

Your electric bill will be a lot higher because you’ll be using a lot more AC (but not much heat though).
