Anyone lived there or spent any amount of time there?

[Kotchman]

I lived there until I was 21. 

[Lou]

Uh oh . . . 

[Kotchman]

Jacksonville but closer to the ocean

[Lou]

I've never heard of a place having good soda.

Have done loans there for many years. Love the people and Charlotte area. I think it’s one of the fastest growing areas. A lot of military because of the bases. Property taxes are great compared to the rest of the country. Nice people and nice areas.

Yes I spent a few months there. Jacksonville is kind of a dumpy military town with lots of Marines. Housing isn’t terribly expensive for coastal living There are some nicer areas outside of there. There are lots of good seafood places and I 95 will gets you access to the whole East coast. You are stuck with small airports unless you drive a couple hours to Raleigh.

Yes I lived about an hour nw of Charlotte. The western foothills is the place to be. I wouldn’t live in Charlotte but there are some nice suburbs.

You need a NC brewed Sundrop or Cheerwine.

My wife's friend moved to New Bern near the coast. It took them a year to have all of the work done on their house after hurricane Florence. It is hot as hell and horribly humid in that area during peak summer months.

We are looking more inland at the Apex area for a retirement home. Or north to Roanoke Virginia.

Yes the eastern part is old plantation country. Also some mean ass Indians in Lumbee

[Kotchman]

Yes the black population is the main reason I won’t return home. Kc has quite a few but you can avoid them. It’s much more difficult in the south unless you live on an island or lake. 

[Kotchman]

Definitely not a place to live if you long like humidity. I’ve never met a SoCal person who could tolerate the humidity down south

I know someone who says he doesn't mind it at all. In fact, he says he prefers it to dry heat. 

What do you think of that?

He is likely a man and not as girly as most Californians. 

[Kotchman]

Lack of Humidity and finesse basketball is what I remember most about Cali

Must be a hot Mexican chick

[Kotchman]

I’m all honesty dry heat is better. You don’t have to deal with the insects and swamp balls
