"We're relocating from New York," the gentleman said. "Our friend suggested we look in Piedmont. Can you tell us anything about it?"
Uhhhh, yeah I can . . . At which point I proceeded to recite a fair number of facts and figures about Piedmont: the number of residences in town, how many properties are typically for sale at any given time, and the current market activity. We spoke about the public schools and the excellent after-school programs, about the social services here in town, about Piedmont's police and fire departments, about the new aquatic center currently under construction, about movie nights in the park; about the Harvest Festival, and about Camp Augusta (just to name a few . . . ).
