22. Just down the road a bit! Chattanooga is a nice town. A river

runs through it. Lots of history, cultural happenings, great downtown. Not too far from where you are now. Very accessible, but still not a huge metropolitan area. If I were 40 yrs. younger, that's where I'd go. Abingdon, VA is another place I'd think about, or Charleston, WVA. Anywhere in the Southern Appalachians with a college or university would be a good choice for me.

Edit to add: I really liked the high country of NC where we lived for 25 years, though it was starting to become too touristy when I left there 8 yrs ago. You can still find nice rural places like Burnsville or Spruce Pine. I lived in Asheville from 1980 to 1987 and it's a lovely place, but it was getting a bit too uptown for my tastes when we moved away.

If you want the beach and east coast, I think Wilmington, NC, or one of the areas like New Bern might be nice.

Good luck in choosing a place. You've gotten lots of good suggestions. Just get out your pendulum, a map, and let 'er rip!
