People must check out the area before purchasing if you want instant gratification. Who knows if the south will ever have the amount of retail stores and restaurants as the north does. At least those stores are dotting 466A more these days. That is a lot closer than 441.

Residents in the south are younger, savvy to online ordering for multitude of needs. Amazon and Krogers trucks are abundant here, why waste time at grocery when it comes to your door. My bananas just arrived, half ripe, as I specified, and very frozen Tilamook malted milk ice cream (nobody carries it in TV) Arrives at the time I choose, why waste my time and gas.
Plus many travel out of TV to eat dinner at great restaurants that just don’t exist here. Up north we would drive an hour for great restaurants, here 10 miles to great food is a bonus
Just had furniture delivered, unboxed and set up, about half of cost for the same at the furniture stores in TV.
No worries about the south, they would rather be doing fun stuff, gathering with neighbors, golfing groups, card games, happy hour and the pool, and driveway parties, than walking in a brick and mortar shop.
