10 days was a big enough free information delay to cross a city off the list? Lol

It was actually 4 days from the date of their post.

C-D, while an excellent resource, isn't exactly the sole definitive source for relocation information.

I'd look for, and no doubt find, other sources of information first.

That's true. I guess I just got a chuckle out of the thoughtful positive response from another poster above and then the news that it was too late just a few days after they asked for info.

Oh me too! And I think its beyond silly to cross a city off your list because you didn't get a fast enough response from a small group of people on one internet site. I mean really?

I agree. It seems like a cute town too. I guess people didn't jump fast enough, lol.

C-D was not and is not my sole source of information, just fyi. Actually, this was the last source I was using as a resource from which to build my short list. I am working on a really tight timeline for this move and have been trying to narrow down a "final list" of homes we want to see this coming week. Altho I am aware that it may have seemed to others that I was hasty in my decision to eliminate Lenoir from my list, from my perspective since Lenoir was a last minute toss into the list based on my finding a cute house, 4 days was enough. If it was supposed to happen, the feedback I got or didn't get from all the various resources would have caused me to leave it on the list. Or take it off. I liked the looks of the town, but since I haven't been there, having some insider knowledge is helpful. I mean I've lived in Texas all of my 65 years and if you asked me about any town in which I haven't lived, I wouldn't be able to tell you anything about it. I am familiar with that area, having spent some time there, just not Lenoir.

The upshot is that we will be looking at houses in north central NC and south central VA in towns in which we have spent some time. I really do appreciate the feedback, however. Thank you all so much.

But why such a rush? A big life decision shouldn't be rushed. Responders have their own lives, and shouldn't be expected to be able to respond immediately to a post. Four days really isn't very long in the grand scheme of things especially with a slower lifestyle.

It isn't such a rush. We have been working toward this move for almost 9 years. The house has sold, the money is there to do what we have been planning and this move is simply the final step in the process. Once one gets to the final step, they have to make the leap or stay frozen and never reach their goal.

I'm sorry, guess I misunderstood your other post. Best of luck in finding the perfect home .
