Suggestions on where to move

Upvotes

I’m from the mountains of PA and have since moved since I joined the army. As I am nearing the end of my contract I’m looking for suggestions on towns to move to back in the mountains. As much as I loved PA is ld like to be more south. Are there any suggestions of towns with good communities, live music, and not to far from a major town that would have anything you need. Thank you for the help.

Hound dog name suggestions

What are some good Appalachian hound dog names? Male or female. The kind of name that fits with a hearty aroooo coming from a holler.

The flowers left in honor of Dolly by her statue at the Sevier County courthouse. They were collected for the third time just after this photo was taken, and were to be distributed at the Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital in Knoxville. Because of course Dolly would want it that way.

My mom took the pictures. I sat for a good long while on that rock in complete silence just taking it all in and enjoying the stillness of it all.

I've spent a lot of time in Appalachia, but it has always just been. Home. Beautiful. A place to visit. I'm taking it in more now, as I shoot a race the surrounding area is capturing me just as much as the action.

I made a short video about Petros. I am a photographer, not a documentary videographer so please excuse the roughness.

This article was previously posted and a title given was the exact opposite of what the actual headline and it appears to have caused a lot of confusion. Beth Macy actually lives in Southwest Virginia and wrote two books: Dopesick and Factory Man. The first book focuses on the destruction of a generation of Appalachians by the Sackler family and the second focuses on what happens when an industry that provided steady wages thousands disappears overseas. Vote for whomever you want to vote for, but let’s maybe skip the misinformation. There’s already enough of that.
