    I'm also looking to move. I brought a poster of the US and pinned it to a cork board, took my dad's darts (shh! Don't tell) and was planning to write down the first 5 states that I landed on. The one I keep hitting is the one I can't move to. Well, that and the lake. (Well and Canada, but I'd rather stay in the US) There goes that plan :grumble:

    -haha thats a good idea.. Im going to get a map and mark all the places i want to go!

    I can't imagine ever moving away from my family, and I'm pretty proud of being a NC girl. If I ever move, it will be to the Western part of the state...I feel more at home in the mountains than anywhere.

    But there is lots to be in love with in the "triangle" area, too (Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill). Great restaurant and arts scene, awesome museums, both free and private, great parks and good amount of greenspace, close to medium-large cities as well as farms and agrotourism, 4 hours to mountains, 2 hours to the beach.

    It's a great place to live for both young hip people as well as families.

    I can keep going, actually: I believe we're the only State in the south to have our owned viticultural region (Yadkin Valley appelation) and we're the 3rd largest craft beer producer in the country, so there is a thriving small-operation alcohol scene here.

    I believe we're also the 3rd largest state for film/TV production, particularly in the Charlotte area and the Wilmington area. Dawson's Creek, Talladega Nights, One Tree Hill, and the Hunger Games were all filmed primarily in NC, among many other things.

    There's a decent local music scene as well, particularly in Chapel Hill/Carrboro.

    And if you like sports, we have pro hockey (Raleigh), pro football (Charlotte), and Tobacco Road basketball, which any NCAA March Madness fan will tell you produces some of the greatest rivalries in sports.

    I'm from Hawaii - it is very laid back. There's not much racism, not much crime. U can leave ur door open and just have the screen door close so that the cool air could come in the house. We have the lowest sales tax, 4.712%.
    People are very friendly and helpful!

    San Diego or San Francisco. No other places I'd rather be in Cali.

    Only places that I have been to and really loved are Phoenix AZ (where I currently am) and Portland OR, which was awesome.
