Love living in the South and in the Raleigh area!

I've been living in NC since 1990 and since 1993 in the Raleigh area (born and raised in Southeastern PA)....
This area has a lot going for it (near a major airport if you need to get away, close to both the beaches and mountains for a quick weekend getaway, real estate prices reasonable compared to other similar sized areas of the country), and the area certainly has a lot more cultural diversity now than it had in 1993.
There is a lot to do in the area (symphony, art museum exhibits, local universities if you are into college sports, and even a professional hockey team)!
You couldn't pay me to move back up North now (I'm too used to the mild winters!). People may complain about the sprawl here, but it is so much easier to get around here than in the metropolitan areas of the North. It only takes me about 20 minutes to commute to work.
