Well I *did* leave obviously - as I did to be with my husband who has lived in NC his whole life (he didn't feel he could deal with the cold - and I was particularly so over it with the winters). However, I am now dying to move back to NH - or wanting to move to the other side of NC - the Charlotte side.
I think all those who think NC is hot is thinking further south or the eastern side of the state. Over by Asheville and the mountains it isn't as hot as Raleigh south.
Ahhhh - absolutely. I'm sorry! I forgot you were in the unpronounceable FAY-uht-vil Much cooler over there. I like Asheville - neat little city.
If I was wealthy I would move to some of the following locations:
Bend, OR
Jackson, WY
Seattle, WA
Camden, ME
Petoskey, MI
Eagle River, WI
Brainerd Lakes Region, MN
Coeur de Alene, ID
I spent the first 21 years of my life in NH. Since then I have moved to FL to NH to AR to ME to AR to ME to AZ to AR. I think that of all of the places that we have lived we like AR (Arkansas) the best. No, I am not in the service and did not move to satisfy an employer. We have moved of our own choice, many times without jobs, and many times during poor economic conditions.
Why do we like it here vs NH? We find that the climate is similar to NH but the seasons are more evenly distributed. An example is that today the sun is out, it is 60 degrees, and there are still some trees with beautiful foliage on them. We do get snow here but it is normally gone within a day or two (unless we have visitors form NH then it stays for a week!). Winter is also usually completely over by mid March. The summers are on the hot side but the humidity is lower than the greater coastal area of NH and ME.
There is wonderful trout fishing in the area. There are many other outdoor activities also. The towns are similar in size to those of NH in the northern part of the state (except NW corner that has exploded). There are many cultural events in the NW corner if you get that itch. It would be similar to living in Manchester and driving to Boston to the theater or museums.
The culture is very different. On the one hand you have a culture that is sweet, caring and sharing. On the other hand you have people that can be very bigoted. I think that you find that in NH also it is just not as pronounced since it is a white world (and I don't mean snow).
Hope that this answers some questions. But for the grace of God there go I. He has always caught us before we fell too far and pray that he will continue to guide us in these unsure economic times.
not me....I have a friend in Oregon and he told me local newspaper refused to report that Obama won the election.
I will probably stay forever in the 'live free or die' state.
Pretty silly criteria to judge an entire state on...especially one that is the size of Oregon. Didn't we already cover that on a thread a few weeks back?
not me...I didn't see it. Not saying the whole state is that way, just surprised to see it at all.
or this story in Idaho.:
BOISE -- The mayor of an eastern Idaho town where second- and third-grade students chanted "Assassinate Obama" after Barack Obama's Nov. 4 election victory has publicly apologized, saying there's no excuse for such comments.
I wouldn't say all of Idaho is bad either. Sun Valley is pretty nice.

I've lived in Arkansas for a year and I have to say, I really liked it too. I wouldn't mind moving back there.

I lived in the greater Littleton area and liked it. Visited family in Feb of 2000. It was snowing when I landed in Manchester and near blizzard conditions all the way up through the notch. Then it snowed every day I was there. The morning that I left it was 18 degrees, wind blowing and snowing again! Arkansas never looked so good as it did when I landed @ XNA.
I really did love the people there. Very open and friendly. I do have to say that the tornadoes were a bit unnerving. I remember driving with my brother one day and the sky got really dark. We knew we were in trouble when we passed some storm chasers! At least they were going in the opposite direction.
We are moving from NE corner of Washington ---> NH... it is so pretty here! We are nestled in the beginning of the Cascades and the Canadian Rockies I believe. Mountains, lakes, and rivers everywhere... hard to leave...but the family is there on the East coast! If you want to leave NH, check out our area!
