I live about 14 miles outside of Athens. I love having a home out in the woods, but I dread going into Athens to do anything. Unfortunately, that’s where the stores and eating places are. If you’ve ever seen one of those movies about rednecks and corrupt cops, they probably got the idea for it from Athens. Call it the “town without pity” or call it “the sticks”. I wish we could move far away from here, but just can’t afford it at the moment. That’s another thing about Athens…there are no jobs, except for those who are opened up for people’s relatives. If you don’t know somebody, you won’t find a job.
