Review of North Carolina, North Carolina
Retirement living

2/10/2018
Lots of scenery, slow moving, minor crime and mostly friendly people. Natives only want your money: was told I needed to spend my money locally and not else ware. If you were not born here you will never fit in. I an glad I do not need a job as there are none and don’t even think about starting a business here. Simply put summary: nice weather for 10 months, quiet, shop in Asheville or Atlanta and watch out for the local shops prices, they vary greatly.
