Hi, I read your posts. I would agree with what you said for the most part- shoot for neighborhoods above Bryan Blvd in GSO. I've heard good things about Kernersville and nothing negative. One caveat- come down and spend about a week getting to know the area. GSO reminds me alot of Akron in its size and character. Raleigh- reminds me of Columbus. I'm less familiar with WS, but have heard it described as more progressive of the Triad.

Folks are cordial- upper income and those with deeper ties to the region seem less so. Church is big down here so there are a lot of good churches in the area- with great family programming.
If you are from Avon Lake then the Bryan Blvd/Guilford College area is whatcha want- I would even say it is more diverse than where you are from. Oh- 2 things- ton of Ohioans here and the cost of living is about 10-20% higher down here.

sandnsea2 is completely wrong... I'm a northerner too and when my wife and I moved here from Pittsburgh 8 years ago, we fit in just fine. You shouldn't have any problem adjusting to life in the south. This area has a ton of transplants from all over the country. There's even a Browns & Buckeyes fan club that watches the games at The Box Seat sportsbar in Greensboro on Saturdays and Sundays.

Good luck with your move.

As for getting along with the natives, I know a lot of mid-westerners in this neck of the woods, almost all are really nice folks, ...they do talk funny, though! Guilford county schools are good, I would tend more to the eastern side of GSO, Alamance Co. Schools are good also, Orange Co, has excellent schools. Alamance Co = Burlington & Graham. Orange Co = Mebane (east side thereof), Chapel Hill, Cary. This entire area is, well, better educated. Duke University, UNC - Chapel Hill, Wake Forest U. , UNC - Greensboro, N.C. A&T State University, N.C. Central University, Elon University, Guilford College, Greensboro College, Bennett College, N.C. State University, all within about a 50 mile radius of Burlington. The local schools get the benefit of student teachers. Personally, I would suggest the east side of Mebane, quiet, good community envolvement, friendly, excellent Mexican Restaurant, a couple of coffee shops and two bookstores, but, where you work will greatly impact where you will call home.
