Hawthorne
Hawthorne is what happens when you keep driving east on 20 until the Publix runs out. Population under fifteen hundred, a couple of churches, the Lochloosa lake crowd, and the Gainesville-Hawthorne Trail terminus for cyclists who want to say they finished the whole thing. Dating here means you already share a tax bracket with your match, or you are willing to drive forty minutes for a real dinner. The upside: nobody from your office will spot you. The tradeoff: nobody, period. Treat it as a weekend day-trip backdrop, not a Tuesday plan.
