Love Blue Ridge. We will be building our retirement home outside of Ellijay Ga on our land we bought 10 yrs ago. It’s about 30 minutes from Blue Ridge. The North Georgia mountains are beautiful, clean & peaceful.
As a local, we are normally overwhelmed and over run with tourist. This little video makes it look so peaceful. We once had a wonderful little town , and now it’s a tourist trap. Sad .
I feel that way about where I live in Auburn, Alabama. It is called the loveliest village on the plains. It is no longer lovely nor is it a village. They have torn down so much history and replaced it with high rises and overwhelming construction at every corner. It is like any other growing city with rising crime issues. It used to pleasant to walk around downtown but I avoid it like the plague.
I really enjoyed your video. I am in Chicago, but I have always thought about moving to the southeast around north Georgia or eastern Tennessee. North Georgia just seems more down to earth.
was born raised in chicago 18 yrs moved to Los Angeles then Phx then florida ..visited Helen Ga/awesome place, now would love to go to Blue ridge Ga Memphis tn well Tupelo ms before see Elvis home, then if we have time see chicago since haven't been there since 1998 lots have changed downtown, see michigan ave ...river cruise etc.
Wow such a beautiful town thinking of driving up from Florida in either November or December , what’s the food/bar scene like and where would be a good place to tent camp there?
looks like you went holiday season christmas time, how was weather? thinking of going nov 21 -22 is it cold ? think I see light jackets ..is there alot to see there? want to do the train ride heard it's fun. what else is around there besides Blue ridge and been to helen ga
Winters are pretty mild. A few inches of snow a year. It definitely starts cooling off by then. There are a few things to see in Copperhill/McCayesville too.
@@TheGenuineFer how long does it take to see the town? can you see shops in hour ? thinking of train ride how is that? is it about 40-50 degrees or colder was trying to figure out if we need winter jackets or just light jackets ..thanks for the video
@@kathleencraig3804 Hi Kathleen! Yeah that’s typical day time temperatures. It varies of course but around Thanksgiving you should be fine with a lighter jacket. I personally haven’t rode the train. You can walk through the shops in a couple hours.
My family is considering taking a vacation there in September, is Blue Ridge a place that’s safe for POC? I’ve seen people have stated there are a lot of Confederate flags and they felt uncomfortable. Thank you.
Not terrible, but mostly a useless informational video. Just music and panning video. At the very beginning he said something shops and dining. What’s recommended, what’s popular, where/what are the good or recommended restaurants? Narration and suggestions would have made this much better?
Just found your channel new subscribers here! Nice video! If you get the chance check out our Ellijay video, just a hop skip and jump away from Blue ridge. 😊

I love this little town.
Great video! Thanks
Thank you! I appreciate the support!
Here now nice area
It’s so beautiful at winter time! We’re actually here now!
I’m from Florida and plan on driving up there what would you recommend food/bar scene wise and where would be a good place to tent camp?
Nice place but would have liked more audio description of the town.

Seems like a lot of towns have turned that way.

The same thing happened where I grew up. I don’t even recognize it anymore.
those tourists you're whining about also
bring revenue to an area that would be alot worse off without it. sorry, but...true fact.
@@neneg4340 so true, don't said tourist support local businesses and then they leave.
Thanks for this, I am considering visiting!
You’re very welcome!
I really enjoyed your video. I am in Chicago, but I have always thought about moving to the southeast around north Georgia or eastern Tennessee. North Georgia just seems more down to earth.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! It really is beautiful out here.
You have no idea...

If you can work remotely then I say go for it though if you dont, you may have to commute to Atlanta for your income.
Wow Blue Ridge looks so nice and cozy! 8)
Also, can you tell me the name of the music?
I tried to find it but I couldn’t. It was a sample track off of the video editing program I use. Blue Ridge is a very neat town.
Thank you I live in blue ridge but I need to see what it looks like again I forgot lol 😂
Nice vacation town.
Me and friends just rented a cabin up there and it was amazing
It really is beautiful out there.
@@TheGenuineFer I miss it , I’ve lived in Orlando my whole life and it was so nice to get a change of scenery, plus is snowed while we were there .

Not sure about primitive campsites but there’s a good number of restaurants and I believe a wine bar in town. Hope you can make it up here!
is parking free there around the train areas may take train ride ...yeah bringing jacket layering ...thanks awesome video
They’ve got both free spots and pay to park.
@@TheGenuineFer free spots are there alot? can you park there 5hrs would like to take train ..looks fun. thanks
@@kathleencraig3804 there are quite a few free spots. I’m not sure what the time limit is though.

You have nothing to worry about. Blue Ridge is a safe and friendly place to visit.
@@TheGenuineFer thank you so much sir.

And now they've ruined it by letting a huge hotel be built in downtown Blue Ridge. So much for quaint little town of by gone days.
It’s definitely not what it use to be.

I live here. Idk why people wanna come here. Nothing is here.
Your camera is low definition and makes views appear to be out of focus.
