relocating to a coastal town (Wilmington, Jacksonville: crime rate, community college, taxis)

[hollygurl]

Well me and my adult kids are thinking of moving to a costal town in North Carolina like Wilmington or close to Mrytle Beach. I have lived in Indiana all my life but my mom and dad passed away a few years ago so I thought well I'm 50 maybe it's time I live my dream which is to live close to the water, but not sure about which costal town is the best for my family. I have a daughter who wants to attend college for Hospitality & Tourism and maybe me to and then I have a son who can't read or write but he is smart and knows things and pick things up really well. Then I have a older son not sure if he will come but he is shy. I want a place that where people are nice and friendly and the crime rate isn't high like it is here. I need a place where they have public transportation and good hospitals and shopping .

The places where public transportation exist are Wilmington, Myrtle Beach and Jacksonville, otherwise there are taxis in most towns. They each have community college.

I just heard about a young adult man who can't read or write, and he was working for a guy who runs a metal recycling business. So it is possible to survive that way.
