Title. I am looking to buy a used car and need suggestions on where to start my search locally (I am already looking on Autotrader, but am leery of making such a big purchase online). Any places which I should check out or definitely avoid? Car ownership is new to me and the whole process seems very daunting. 22M, paying cash, based in Cherokee County if that helps.
I may be taking a job in Peachtree City soon and am obviously looking for places to live in the area. Peachtree City itself seems pretty appealing due to the golf cart paths: I have a Class III E-Bike sitting in storage from my time in DC, and am wondering if I could use it to get around town. Do people do this? Not sure if it is prohibited/ frowned upon to use other kinds of vehicles on these paths. I grew up in North Georgia but have never made it down to Peachtree City, so any info yall can give me is great. Thanks in advance!!
Finally starting at 8:55!! Tarp just came off
Currently sitting on a Yellow Line train, crawling through downtown, spending maybe 2-3 minutes at each station. Train operator is telling us there is a medical emergency on the platform at Pentagon slowing things down. Be advised.
2nd floor is not decorated yet. The tiny room visible in the 2nd/3rd pictures is just chests and crafting workstations. The cat's name is Edward.
Hi there! Scroll down to skip the backstory, this is long-winded me trying to ask a simple question.
I am a 22 year old CS graduate currently living in a very expensive city on the East Coast. I have never visited Charleston, but have already learned a lot about it from reading other posts here and other sources on the web, and find myself considering a move. This would be for financial and career reasons: I may lose my job imminently, and thus be forced to move out of my current apartment later this summer. I have some workable savings ($15k), and have a plan to stretch this out a long ways while I improve my resume (online tutoring, freelance software development, and potentially YouTube). In order to do this, however, I need a place to land that is:
Charleston seems to check most of those boxes (to varying degrees, maybe, I don't know), and based on what I've seen I'd be happy to try living there for a year or two. Like I said, I've not been to Charleston, but I have visited Huntington a couple times, and I recall that being a surprisingly charming and attractive city. What I don't know about, however, is #5.
Can anybody here attest to the Internet speeds / reliability in the city? I get that Charleston is the largest city in the state, but it is also a very small one in a very isolated area, in a state that is notorious for its poor infrastructure. Do you guys have fiber yet? Is there anyone who has done remote work of any kind from Charleston that can confirm it's viable?
Hoping for some good info / advice. Thanks for reading and take care!
Hi there, I'm brand new to the subreddit and pretty new to cycling in general, so please excuse any dumb questions or naivety on my part! I moved to Washington, DC last year and bought a bike as an alternative to owning a car in the city. Since then, I have come to really enjoy exploring the area on my bike, and am always looking for new and interesting places on the map. I have zoomed out far enough to notice Delaware, and have gotten an idea.
The plan would be to take no more than 14 days, but probably closer to 10-11, and bike from Wilmington, DE to Norfolk, VA, roughly following the Atlantic coast. Both Wilmington and Norfolk have easy and direct train service to Washington, ideal for bringing my bike. Towns to visit along the way tentatively include Dover, Lewes, Rehoboth Beach, Ocean City, Chincoteague, and Cape Charles, where I'd charter a boat to take me across the bay to Norfolk (there are no scheduled ferry services, as far as I can tell). This would happen in late July or early August.
The reason I'm posting here is that I can't really find any precedent for someone doing this trip. There is this post from a couple years ago which has some helpful information, but OP states that this was an out-and-back trip from Wilmington, and that they didn't go down into Virginia. I haven't found much more than that -- I tried looking into rail trail maps and couldn't find any that went, say, north to south over a long distance (or were published within the last 2 decades).
As a first-timer, I'm happy for any help I can get. General (or specific) route planning principles? Gear suggestions? Must-see destinations? Grave warnings???
Thanks in advance!
