Smoke, you are going to have sticker shock when you start looking at real estate prices up there, but in a very good way. Real estate up there is even much less than my part of Alabama and Alabama has about the lowest property taxes in the country. The real estate agents are going to be slobbering at the mouth when they find out you are bringing CA money into AL to buy a house and they are going to be showing you the most expensive things they can find. I have had family that moved from CA to AL and been involved with a couple of companies who moved their operations from CA to TN. Not sure what you have now but you should be easily be able to find twice what you have now for much less than half the price. Only down side is that I think Dekalb county is still a dry county but Ft Payne can sell booze in the city limits.

Congratulations smoke.

what does that mean "dry county"? 

[Pappymn]

Dry County = longer drive for booze.

Does Alabama have an income tax? Gotta be better then MN and CA

Dry County = longer drive for booze.

you mean the town has no liquor stores?  why?  does that mean no bars either? 

[Pappymn]

My only experience with a dry county was in Texas when I ate at the Salt Lick. You could bring your own hooch to drink, but they couldn't sell it.

You my friend are asking all the right questions. I've never understood any of this since moving south  . When I lived in Milton FL back in the early 90’s it was a dry county but I could buy booze on base  . Now that I live in Pensacola I can’t buy on Sundays until after 1PM  , which doesn’t make any since at all  . By that time I've already gone through what was left from Saturday and really, really, am I safe to drive to get more?

I thought a dry county" might do that....... But - like others have said...the South in general is a good place to live.

In California our politics suck but unlike the drinking water we do keep that alcohol flowing.

The only "dry" counties we have are due to the lack of rain

It is nice to buy booze when ya get thirsty 

I think she might want to stay here cause most of her family is now around here. I figure it goes this way: wherever she wants to be is where I will be
