Anyone in the Spruce Pine/Bakersville Area

I am just curious if anyone out there is from this area. I live out in the middle of nowhere on a mountain side. In fact I don't live in either towns mentioned above. I just have a Bakersville address. Not born here just moved here under some crazy circumstances. So give a shout out if you just happen to live in the area.
