Ah, no you don't. They might qualify as foothills on a good day.

Nearby mountain is 1,250'.  If I pushed you off the top would you call that a foothill?

Sure other places have higher mountains (errr...DUH).  :)

BTW:  Chicago is as flat as a pancake and at 600' or so above sea level.  Folks who come here from Chicago LOVE our "mountains".   :aok


Edit:  Oops, and I almost forgot, the Ouichita Mountain Range is one of the oldest ranges on earth (back to Pangea), and billions of years ago were thousands of feet higher that they are today.  It's the only multiple mountain range in North America that goes from West-East.  The New Madrid Fault runs nearby.  There are strata based rock formations in my neighborhood that are just a few degrees off VERTICAL--indicating their tortured earthquake past. Volcanic based hot springs still buble out of the ground as they did thousands of years ago.  It's all 2 miles away.

The potholes in Arkansas roads makes the foothills look like Mountains.

Had a chance to move to Atlanta a number of years ago.  Major Corporation, running the distribution center, prime job great money full move package including them buying my house if it didnt sell in a given period of time.

Butttt as I'm sure your doing I added up what I was leaving behind

Third generation on this piece of property, acre lot my Grandfather bought in the 30's and my dad built a house on in 1945, I bought it when he passed away in the early 80's

My family, wifes family, my aging mother, as it turns out her health deteriorated thank God I was close.

The freinds the community I live in (25 miles west of Chicago)

Five kids and all those roots.

In the end I said if I cant make it here shame on me and I stayed.
