An Artist's County

"Somehow this artist recognition of the county as an artist destination, not just the tour, but I mean just a place to buy 10 acres and build your own house, pretty much exactly what we did. When we moved out we knew no one in Chatham County. All our friends were in--around Raleigh and Apex area and now all of them are out here in Chatham, you know. Cary, you know, happens, and you know, it's-it's tough to get started as a couple, you know, anywhere, as a couple buying land or building or something like that in Orange County, it's just--it's just Chatham County is easy to move to, its got three different rivers, its got a quaint county seat of Pittsboro. Goldston, Bonlee, these smaller--Bennett--these smaller areas down South of the county are just as remote as you'd wanna be. If you want it remote, you can go down there and you'll be just fine. And that's going to change. That's going to change because the popularity of Chatham County and the industry that's moved in--it's going to change the land."
