North Carolina is for Lovers. You and your Wifey would fit right in.

I grew up in Greensboro, went to school in Raleigh, and I have been in Charlotte for 7 years now.

Weather: Mild winters, little snow, occasional ice storms which really suck. The summer has one forecast from June to late September.... hot, chance of rain...thunderstorm between 5pm and 6pm, almost everyday. Weather in SoCal is much better, but overall it is pretty nice here.

Charlotte is a cool town, I lived in downtown for 4 years which was great, lots of restaurants/bars and fun stuff to do. Then I got married, had a kid, now live in the burbs, which is nice too.

Other cool thing is the mountains are only a couple hour drive, and the beach is only 3 hours away. Makes for good road trip material.

Oh yea, air quality is the suck here. Allergies can get out of control... my wife hates that.


Best of luck...

Luke makes a good point. My ex was born and raised in Raleigh. I'm a Californian but we lived in NYC. When we spent vacations with her family it was quite a difference in cultures. I found the south much more laid back but a bit "clubby". Family names carry weight there. They are very polite but you could move there and always feel like an outsider in certain circles. My ex's grandfather was a prominent North Carolinean so maybe it was more the circles I happened to be exposed to. TIFWIW...

Try the Texas hill country, beautiful and cheap. Also no state income tax. A ton of my firends in Houston have places out there, even though its 1-2 hours west of San Antonio. Plan on getting an extra place there soon.

Houston is nice if you like living on the sun. What's it, like 100 or so with 150% humidity?

I lived there for two years. There are about two months of decent weather and then you die from heat exhaustion.
