Unfortunately a lot of them are stopping in Georgia too. I have friend that lives in Ellijay in the NW portion of Georgia. The constant influx of newcomers from Atlanta and Florida is changing the town and not for the better. A lot more traffic and all the other drawbacks of living in big city or the outlying suburbs. The price of houses and land is becoming unaffordable for many long time residents that did not already own something.
The majority of the newcomers seem like good people that wanted out for the usual reasons and are glad to have a nice place to live. But there is a vocal minority constantly complaining about their new home not being more like the area they just left.
