What do you think of when you think of North Carolina?

[TarHeelNick]

1. Home
2. Too many people from other states thinking this is the land of milk and honey. Growth is good; what's been going on for the past 10 years has been ridiculous though.
3. ACC basketball

[portlanderinOC]

Bluegrass music, BBQ, Smoky Mountains

What do I think of North Carolina??? I think that is what is on the other side of those big mountains I can see from my town. I think of the beach, I think of tobacco, and I think of sprawling Charlotte. Since I live only about an hour from the NC line I find myself there now and then. Its a nice state not too much different from Tennessee (at least western NC is).

Half-backs. New Englanders who retired to Florida, found that too hot, then went half the way back home landing them in NC.


I went from Colorado to Florida to NC,.... does that make me a wide-out?

lol! That's what I was thinking. And hillbilly people I can barely understand. But the only place in NC I've ever spent any time was Greenville.
