North Carolina vs Connecticut

Close ... in CT we were told "last one out lock the door!"

I am thinking of relocating to the Raleigh Durham Chapel Hill area. I understand that it is one of the more progressive areas in NC. I'm looking for an open minded community that is not too church focussed. Any suggestions?

dealsusa, i believe Cary is near Raleigh. Cary is one of the best places to live.

I am from Connecticut and I will never go back. You can have it.....

I would hate to think that Fayetteville is anyone's first (or only) impression of North Carolina.

Yup. Don't forget the numerous tattoo parlors, strip clubs, used car lots and the hookers you can pick up at Powers-Swain Chevy and test drive.

Been all over NC, there's some nicer places than here.
