I agree 100% !! We have found the people working in the offices at Halifax to be wonderful! We also have been favorably impressed with the people in Halifax County, so much so that we want to move there. We have visited churches and real estate people and found all to be very gracious and helpful. There are some wonderful views on River Rd. and Mountain Rd. that would be great places to build. One doctor there said that it was like living in Green Acres. My husband's family had connections there and that is why we started going. Also to eat at Ernie's!
