Bless your heart. I live as far away from the City of Atlanta that I have ever lived and that is about 45 miles; about 1 hr drive time if the traffic isn't too bad. However I've retired out here and love the slower pace. I'm lucky enough to be within 2 miles of a Kroger, Walmart, Publix, Hobby Lobby and that seems to take care of everything. I do go into Atl about one a month to visit daughter and I always have a list of places to go, i..e. Ikea, Trader Joe's, Hancock's, stop by a Joann's......
Got out of Atlanta last year when I had a heart attack and stroke and spent 8 days at St Joseph's hospital in the heart as what is known as "pill hill" in the Atlanta area....knew that I couldn't continue to live in the city for a lot of reasons, since I was forced to retire I couldn't afford to live there; couldn't live with the stress of the traffic just to run to the store and needed a calmer life...which I have.
