I must once again make a plug for "car commuting," i.e. living within a decent drive from MEM. I am currently 5 hours away in UCLA (Upper Corner, Lower Alabama). We have just bought a house in BHM, which does have jumpseat but is also 3:45 from the Democrat Lot. Get yourself a deisel Golf and a Sirius, and it can be the highlight of your week (if you have little kids at home, at least).
(My ace in the hole is Oxford, MS. - a college town surrounded by beautiful pastureland. 1:20 to the parking lot. Don't tell anybody (except Albie), but I may end up there....)
Green's church is on Hale Rd off EP Blvd. Let me know if you make this pilgrimage. I'd like to go too.
I'm actually looking at some property north of Tuscaloosa this weekend. I agree about the drive. Good tunes, open road...it's a good way to unwind and get that "solo" time we all need. Currently renting in Collierville and getting more spooked by the increasing crime rate everyday. Not sure MEM is a long term residence for us.
Screw the diesel Golf. I want a 40' Allegro Phateon diesel pusher motorhome. Crash pad, beach condo, mountain cabin and tail gating machine all rolled into one!
