We're looking for someplace to move to in another year or so, preferably closer to the AT and the mountains in general. We also want to be near enough to a major metro area for shopping, sightseeing, concerts, sports. We're looking at Harrisonburg VA - a couple of hours from DC yet very near forests and mountains and trails. Anyone know anything about it?? We're in our early 50's but not remotely interested in "retiree" communities or golfing or anything like that. That's what we're desperately trying to escape from in this town. We like pubs, good coffee places, farmers markets, good restaurants (not high end, just good food, funky atmosphere), decent shopping, (not like the dark, tired, depressing old mall we have here ), outfitters, lots of rugged outdoor activities, and absolutely nothing that reeks of retirement.
