Just a suggestion, to make it easier to follow, especially for us busy folks that can't always have eyes on the screen, if you could keep the city and state on the screen in small font in one of the corners that would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Your voice is so pleasant to listen to, and somehow calming. That's very needed these days. Love your content! Thank you.

Hmm, Briggs is a great storyteller, and makes bore towns in the middle of nowhere sound like some kind of "promise land"! 😊

I've been to Brevard, NC, and it is indeed beautiful. There was even a small gold rush there many years ago!

As a senior, what matters most to me is affordability, safety, shopping and having a decent hospital near by and where the winters are mild. I would love to see a video that fit this description in the towns near Huntsville, Alabama area where taxes are low and homes are super affordable.

The Finger Lakes towns in Upstate NY like Geneva are all great (in the summer). The winters are rough though.

Bing Crosby owned a ranch near Elko. It's a very beautiful place.
