Tally is lovely. We live over the hill from tally and go to the creek almost every day. I'm raising my kids on the GC and I was raised on the GC and I love it. Great climate and we're always outdoors and active. I don't see that as a bad place to raise kids. I definitely prefer the southern end though. Much less gaudiness and touristy stuff

Shanti, would love to catch up! Will pm u when I'm not on my phone
