You will find things are not as congested and the crime is not as prevalent as it sometimes appears from reading this forum!!! Your kids will enjoy it here, I am sure. Do you play golf? We are blessed w/ wonderful golf courses all around the metro.
yes with the weather comes in lots of out door activities. i was just presented with some golf stuff. at least i need to pick up this game. until now it is limited to driving ranges only.
Ani - This title would seem to sound like a common title for a thread here.
The story as follows:
I'm a guy who would like to purchase a few acres outside of town to build a new house. My mother and father want me to stay in NY, and my brothers and sisters are urging me to build a home in Rhode Island. My buddy Bobby suggests building something in NJ, but land is expensive there and I can't find a property I like. My friend Freddy can come down to help with some landscaping. I'll probably be working from home a lot. My wife is a sahm. Is this doable?

This may have been part the first wave of newcomers to NC
Georgie#1 - George Vanderbilt
Bobby - Robert Fricke - Railroad Baron. His house and 16 acre property are now up for sale in Alpine NJ for "only" $59,000,000!
Freddy - Frederick Law Olmsted - Designed Central Park
House - Biltmore with 125,000 acres
Result - "Priceless"
See everyone, not all of the New Yorkers have moved down here in the last 20 years, but the new ones don't appear to be on as much of a buying spree!

You are in for a pleasant surprise, then . . . even the public courses are really good here.

Good points, Em! Well, you know what my parents always said about New Yorkers? "New Yorkers make the best Southerners." I would expand that to add - anyone from the NE . . .
I moved here from the Jersey Shore for the following reasons:
1: Son and daughter settled in Charlotte after graduating UNCG
2: Fortunately, my job allows me to live just about anywhere, as long as not to far from
airport.
3: The Phenomenal weather here
4: And one unfortunate reason, my long time girlfriend passed away last July, long battle
with breast cancer
5:And lastly, all of you nice people down here..
What do I miss: closeness to the beach, bagels, pizza, but the trade-off works...

That is wonderful you can be close to your family. I hope your move has been a healing experience after losing your companion. Starting over can be an adventure, even when the circumstances that brought us to a particular time and place were unhappy ones.
Wish I could point you to those perfect bagels and pizza . . . but that is so subjective . . . I like Chicago style pizza!!!
