Hotlanta because proximity to Simple Red.

Easiest one so far.

My rankings. I wasn't as wowed by Georgia as I expected to be.

Savannah - It's a totally weird house with a shared wall and a highway exit in the backyard. So the outside isn't thrilling. The inside is nice, pretty classic. The key here is the location. You're walking distance from a lot of nice restaurants in one direction and you can go slumming for fast food or chinese in the other. I'm picking this house purely based on the greater neighborhood and the fact that I like Savannah, but I wish it was more downtown.

Augusta - Nice classic semi-mansion with a classic interior. I like it, though I'm not agog. It's near a college, which is usually a good thing, and not too far from a cluster of restaurants, though they seem like weird southern restaurants that aren't my style.

Atlanta - Much bigger on the inside than the outside, and more grand looking on the inside. I like this house and could live there, though it sure looks older than 1920 to me. It's got a nice location near a couple of parks, including a huge one, but it's strangely inconvenient to restaurants and other stuff.

Lakemont - Awesome house, and I love the setting. But man, it's in the middle of nowhere. I don't think I could do that, or at least not without a lot more square footage.

Valdosta - Meh. Classic big house. The acreage is nice, but nothing else wows me, and it's not really convenient to anything. It's also right at the end of the local airport runway, which means at some point a plane will crash into it. The Realtor should have made them declutter the house before taking pictures, too.

I went with Atlanta. Savannah was my second choice but it looks like you'd need attack dogs to protect the property.

[Simply Red]

ATL!! I'm going to mapquest how far that is from me - my guess is 13 miles w/o looking.

[Simply Red]

14.8 miles.

Represent!

I should've waited for your input before I voted.

:shrug: what did i do now?

Nothing. You live in GA so your opinion would've influenced my vote.

Well, you don't want a picture looking straight at you in the tub.

Atlanta based solely on location. The house isn't my favorite and the schools are absolute ass (Rated 1/10? Horrendous), but Atlanta is a nice city, IMO.

Question: is this a tournament or just a collection of individual polls?

[Mosbonian]

Savannah without question.....I have spent enough time in the Atlanta area to know I would loathe the traffic no matter where you go.

Valdosta is nice, but too remote to anything for me.

Lakemont is too close to TN for my taste.

A close second would be Augusta.....you could rent out your home during Green Jacket week and make enough money to pay your mortgage for the year.

it's a great town.

Y'know, I'd like to do a tournament. But it kind of depends on how long the properties show up on the realtor web site. I hope they'll last.

[Coochie liquor]

Had to go with Savannah. I love the old feel of the town, River street where you can drink on the streets, and it's close to Florida.

[seclark]

i know it's not on the list, but i hit up the big house in macon this afternoon. wonderful old houses in that area. if i was going to live in ga, i'd find a place in the country close to macon.

if that's not in the rules, sorry...blow me.
i'm sure my neighbors would be fine.

Just get all 50 states posted on the same night. By end of week take highest voted house from each state and put into a poll for each section of the country. After that week take all winners from each section and put in final poll.

Easy.

I would do that, but it's taking me too long to sort through the North Dakota places. That state is amazing.

North Dakota is actually pretty unique.

However, you haven't gotten to Montana and that may take you forever to go through.

Isn't it just Bwana and 32 other families living in Montana? It may be hard to meet the requirement of 5 houses to choose from.

You take that back! Bwana is my step second cousin by second marriage to my uncle's twice removed sister.

Also I'm not sure if there's a total for teeth in a state. But GA gotta be tied with Alabama with about 32 teeth per state.

What has 48 eyes and 12 teeth?

The front row of any concert in Alabama.
