Nice little town, but very close knit and slow.

This is the very first time my wife and I have moved to such a very lower populated and less educated town that is still tucked away in yesterday, and its rich value in moonshining. At one time just about every able body person with some money had a piece of the pie. This occurred from the early 20th century and goes on barely today. According to the local paper, which is published 3 days a week, meth houses rule the land. Everyday that the news is published all you see are pictures of "mummies" with their faces entombed with meth. A growing problem that is trying to ignore, but most folks do not recognize it as a disease. It is very cheap to live here, but you do have to put some miles on your car to visit Roanoke or Winston Salem. The whole area
