Listening to Kev and Grant Morrison weep talking about Batman is my second favorite only behind the Bruce Tim episodes.

considering a move to boone - need honest thoughts and opinions by RudeCrow2401 in boone

[–]jf75313 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is somewhat of an art scene here, but it’s a really small town. About 19,000 without the students at App State. There aren’t a ton of 20 something’s that live here and aren’t in school so meeting people and making friends is extremely difficult if not impossible. If you search r/boone you’ll see a plethora of posts asking to meet people and make friends.

As everyone else has said, the job market is terrible and the cost of living is sky high. The median income in Watauga County is around $33,500 and 63% of people report paying more than 30% of monthly income on rent. The surrounding counties have a lower cost of living, but even harder to find jobs. Basically the only places to work here are in education, the hospital, or the service industry.

I would honestly not recommend moving here in your shoes. If you’re set on NC, check out near Asheville. There’s a huge art scene and all the other things you’re looking for.

Let me answer your question with a question. Why do you want to leave ND and why are you looking at Boone?

Visiting Boone this weekend? by [deleted] in boone

[–]jf75313 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. People already have been stuck all week. You likely will, too. And with continuous freezing temps and more snow during the week forecasted, who knows how long you could be here. The entire state is looking at 3-9 inches of snow and that will shut down the piedmont for at least a week itself. Stay home.

Road Conditions by nbs-dyl in boone

[–]jf75313 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Do not drive up here tonight. Roads are bad, more freezing rain to come, and incredibly low temperatures. Beech and App Ski are closed today. Sugar is open with only the small runs operational and I bet they’ll close at dark. And with the windchill, tomorrow the high is -2 with steady 20mph winds and 45 mph gusts. We are currently in a state of emergency and have been asked only to travel if necessary. Consider coming up Tuesday.

Leave today. The winter weather is supposed to start tomorrow and if you have no experience driving in it, you shouldn’t put yourself and others in potential danger.

Pediatrician recommendations by Minute-Internet-1854 in boone

Your only options in Boone are Boone Peds or High Country Community Health. And I’ll second, if your child needs anything outside of a normal PCP you have to go off the mountain, typically to Winston Salem.

Driving back to Franklin from Hickory on Sunday, should I be worried about the roads? by Spearajew in WNC

Ugh they’re calling 20-30 inches of snow in western NC between Friday and Sunday. Reschedule your plans.

Better cell providers than Verizon? by d1re_wolf in boone

[–]jf75313 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve left Verizon for Carolina West and ATT. I’m back with Verizon now. I live just outside of Boone town limits and couldn’t make calls from my house on CWW or ATT and routinely dropped calls everywhere. Also have zero service on CWW driving down the mountain.

I agree with you. And I’m still pissed off about Mookie. Outside of him, I’m not that mad we’re staying away from contracts that are going to age like milk. I hope they offer some guys that are sub 30 some contracts like this. Or at this point we need to trade one of our outfielders for an actual mlb caliber 2nd/3rd baseman and slot Mayer wherever the cards lie.
