Strange to say but I don't feel like I'm apart of NC that much. Moved to Charlotte from Columbia SC in 2010...
1) Charlotte is on the border of SC so when watching the news it's usually a lot of news from the Charlotte area including a lot of York and Lancaster Counties.
2) Reading the Charlotte Observer always has stuff about the area and SC areas...Always my USC football team news.
3) Carowinds, when I go there, that's the only place I never know what state I'm in sometime lol.
4) I've been to Asheville like twice and other NC cities....Been to Greensboro and Raleigh by passing through. The only city I've spent a lot of time in other than Charlotte was Durham for 5 days....So I still don't know too much about NC....I feel like I live in an extension of my state of SC in Charlotte lol.
That's okay. Most people in NC don't feel like Charlotte is part of NC either
I've been thinking ALOT, about re-locating to NC, thinking Wilmington/ Carolina Shores area. Can anyone tell me how family life is and how the schools are? I'm in CT and hate it. Was not brought up here but been here for 20 years. I have 2 HS children and I'm a sinlge mom. I have a good career and not too worried about finding a job, just want some info on schools and such.
For a comprehensive overview of the state, you may appreciate reading online or subscribing to the Our State magazine. The magazine basically divides the state into four sections, with articles in each section relative to the arts, entertainment, crafts, what's going on etc. etc.
i got a phone call from a district in north carolina today for a possible interview, and now i'm seriously considering the possibility of ending up in nc. I've seen the picture thread, and people have told me it's a beautiful state. But what's life like there on the ground? In sum, how do you like living there? What is the best thing about living in nc?
I look forward to any responses.
Thanks!

Absolutely, stay away from here! The place has mountains, beaches and two of the fastest growing metros in the United States. It has an outstanding community college system, great public (some of the most affordable in the country) and private universities and an unparalleled quality of life.
The place experiences four seasons and is as green as a four leaf clover....it's the armpit of the world compared to most other states.
