Is commuting to this location from Atlanta feasible? It's a pretty long drive from Atlanta to Athens. Get a hotel in Athens, or use Airbnb, or something, or else you'll spend 2+ hours a day hating yourself as you sit in traffic. john

Is commuting to this location from Atlanta feasible? both fixed. anything else? commuting from atl is technically feasible, but not recommended. atlanta is big, so one-way commute times are generally in the 1-2 hr range. also, i don't think it's opinion to say that there's more and better nightlife for our type of crowd in athens. terrapin brewing, the georgia theater, trapeze, the globe, blue sky, allgood, etc. all great stuff. there's a nice shuttle to athens from the airport that leaves hourly. http://www.groometransportation.com/ so there's no need to rent a car. - erik

Just curious as to whether it's likely I'll be able to meet ALT-based friends some evening. Thanks for the info.

On this continent anything beyond the date of expiration is considered old. The typical date of expiration of a house is 30yrs (conveniently in line with the typical mortgage on a new construction). -jas
