My comment about Jim Thorton being in the Eastern Media::D led me to wonder how many Forumites are on the E Coast as it seems lots of Y'all run into each other at meets.So where are you from.Also,I know many of you want to remain anonymous,but I'd like more people to fill out their profile.People talk about how they did at a meet,but without a name I can't look them up.
I've mulled this "where to live" thing over many times. DC/Northern Virginia is lovely in the fall and spring. BUT it's a horrible allergy inducing, allergy suffering, swamp! Having grown up and been educated in MN, NH and IL, I'm over cold weather. So the best place to go is clearly Arizona. :) Won't happen, though, Mr. Fort is opposed and dreams of living in the Raleigh/Durham area. That probably won't happen for him though, as I am just not a southern bell. :D
You don't have to worry about being a Southern belle unless you live in South Carolina, Georgia (at least an hour outside of Atlanta), Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, or the panhandle of Florida.
North Carolina is probably the fastest growing, most progressive state on the East Coast. It has much to offer - excellent public and private universities, warm weather, beaches, and mountains. In the South, we refer to Ashville as the Aspen, Colorado of the East Coast. Lots of independently wealthy people who enjoy the outdoors can be found in the area around Ashville.
