I have to disagree. About the only worthwhile thing to do in NC/SC (outside of a few beach towns) is go to U-picks in the summer. And I could see Las Vegas and Key West getting really old, really quick.
Is there even a zoo in NC outside of Asheboro?
I can accept that something about MD really rubs you the wrong way, but that doesn't mean that NC is better. That's where I draw the line.

I'm quite a bit more of a traveler than you are and have been to some of those places you mentioned. BTW North and South Carolina have that same dirty Atlantic Ocean water that you hate(salt water is pretty clean BTW)
Las Vegas is so much fun on the strip but off the strip it's a hot and boring desert city i'd prefer to live in Maryland hand downs and party in Vegas once or twice a year  If you're not into partying and more into seeing sites Las Vegas isn't the place outside of Hoover Dam and that snowcapped mountain just outside the city this region really has nothing much else to see or do.
San Diego seems to be more like you're speed because it's laid back but it's still urban and crowded and it's even more expensive than Maryland
Haven't been to Key West but I've heard that it's a nice place to visit
Miami, knowing you you really wouldn't like Miami. Dirty beaches, high crime, english is considered a second language, overcrowded again you would really hate Miami
Moving to North or South Carolina from Maryland outside of financial and living reasons is taking a huge step backwards to me but hey some people like a slower pace. I like the Carolina's but there's more to do in Maryland
Keep Going

How do you know how much traveling I have done in my life??? and yes it maybe the same Atlantic Ocean, but the farther NORTH you go the dirtier the ocean. I hate Ocean City because the ocean is dirty and I have been to Jones Beach in NY and AC in NJ and it's dirtier up there
Las Vegas is so much fun on the strip but off the strip it's a hot and boring desert city i'd prefer to live in Maryland hand downs and party in Vegas once or twice a year If you're not into partying and more into seeing sites Las Vegas isn't the place outside of Hoover Dam and that snowcapped mountain just outside the city this region really has nothing much else to see or do.
I was speaking Henderson not exactly Las Vegas on the "strip" or Summerlin.
San Diego seems to be more like you're speed because it's laid back but it's still urban and crowded and it's even more expensive than Maryland
Sorry beg to differ when Maryland is the wealthiest state in the United States and I have been to San Diego plenty of times and I have seen how much things are.
Haven't been to Key West but I've heard that it's a nice place to visit
But I thought you traveled more than me???
Miami, knowing you you really wouldn't like Miami. Dirty beaches, high crime, english is considered a second language, overcrowded again you would really hate Miami But do you know me??? I loved Miami when I was there and I was thinking more Ft Lauderdale.
Moving to North or South Carolina from Maryland outside of financial and living reasons is taking a huge step backwards to me but hey some people like a slower pace. I like the Carolina's but there's more to do in Maryland I disagree but hey thats your opinion.
Keep Going

One person you won't see around is me. I lived in Hagerstown all my life and I finally got out. Hagerstown and Washington County used to be a decent place. No more. The governments are full of people who are either crooks or idiots. The area has become a trash can for the metro areas. The town has been flooded with government dependent bums and illegals. Gangs are becoming active. Drug violence is becoming common place. The local state prisons house thousands of inmates and when released, many stay in this area. It's hard to go anyplace around Hagerstown, except somewhere like Borders or Lowes, without finding yourself in the midst of trashy, foul mouthed, no class, rude people. Outside of Hagerstown, the townhouse developments are eating up farmland, but I don't know how you can afford to buy anything here if you work here. The problems and the politics of the rest of the Maryland made us decide to move to a more rural area of another state. We should have left long ago. You like Maryland? You can have it.

I agree 100 %  but don't use your opinion you will be wrong w/ all the people that think that Maryland is so great, but me, I don't mind if you bash this overpriced place

I lived in Maryland for fifty years and my family for many generations. No one is going to "educate" me about the state. It becomes more northeast liberal and less southern, more arrogant and less friendly and more concerned with the dependent class and less so with the middle class every day. Taxes just went up. Jobs are going away. It was time to go.

Well I love NC it's so much better than here. I don't particularly care about going to a zoo and see animals caged up.
