IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT HERE GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAM - 5/10/2014
I am a life long resident of NC. My family has been here since before the Revolution. Currently we are the 3rd state with the largest number of us citizens relocating from other states to NC. this has caused real estate prices to increase and taxes to increase as we have had to build more schools, roads, houses, etc. This has created a lot of jobs not found in other states. Natives are generally indifferent about this large influx of people. Most people liked things the way they were and don't like being told how much better they did it up north. We feel if things were so great where you came from, why didn't you stay? If you want to fit in, don't criticize so much. If you moved here and don't like it, no one invited you down,so just go back to where you came

North Carolina: Beware of this State - 4/16/2014
Upon first arriving in the Triangle in the late '80s, I thought it was beautiful and a relief to the congestion and cold weather of New England. However it was not long before I realized my egregious error.
Employed by the old Carolina Power & Light Copany, my work unit was moved into an underground facility that the company knew contained harmful chemicals. (An engineering firm I employed found the company records.)Many in my group got ill. My once perfect heath was gone forever. Two years and many hospitalizations later, I was finally due in court. My attorney was hopeful. But "somehow," the case was dismissed just three days before trial.
Despite my damaged health, I managed to get re-employed by Duke. I thought I would be safe there. Wrong again. This institution, along with the rest of this state's charming inhabitants, have no idea what "Christian values" are, despite their constant Bible-thumping. Never in my life have I experienced such virulent

to the previous post, well all of America is under unemployed so we cant discourage people from going where they choose to relocate for awhile. im from Georgia and we moved to north Carolina not even caring about the unemployement rate..my husband found a job above all other people that live there based on his education, his experience wasn't what Georgia was looking for but north Carolina gave him a chance and he has grown in his business..thanks to north Carolina!!! so never judge what you read here. I know this is a great state the one thing I hate here is that some schools don't have text books in their schools. I have brought it up to the schools officials. so I want to know is where does all that money go? the school my kids goes to don't even have a bus lane and schools here start earlier than most is Georgia. some counties here has the county written on the buses but not where im at now.

Quality of life at Serenity House - 3/6/2013
I moved to Mooresville from New York State in 2001. Not once have I thought about going back to visit. In NY we had a wonderful place in each town called a comfort care home. North Carolina had never heard of such a place. A group of NY transplants got together and developed a beautiful end of life model of care group home in Mooresville. We wanted to give from our experience in NY as well as enjoy what was already here. Stop by at Serenity House in Mooresville and see what quality of life and dignity are all about at the "finish line of
