You chose a great little Southern town then.
Had a Best buy for prob 20 years now. Being 1.5 hrs from both Charlotte and Atlanta located directly on I85, Gville is a booming commerce, especially restaurants. If your cruising down 85, stop in for a visit. lol The little downtown area is worth a look.
