Hey, that's fair. Funny thing is, I've always told hubby if we ended up back in NC, it would be Charlotte for sure. I grew up in Winston-Salem, but my mom is from the Charlotte area and I have a lot of family there. I love it, but it's exploded in development in the last 20 years. I've never cared for the Triangle area (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill), but it has tons of northern transplants. But yes, NC pretty much has it all, and I've lived it all (college in the mountains, and seven years on the coast at Camp Lejeune), but I've done my time and family is no longer a draw there. James would move back in a heartbeat though.
