There is also a great deal of television and film production going down in N.C. It isn't a bad place to try to get something going.

I'd say go for it. Move. Change is good...actually it's great. Go for it.

This never even occured to me :) VERY good news.

That's funny you mention that. Same is true here in Mississippi. One of my first and least pleasant memories about moving hear was encountering the blatantly racist comments some of the radio DJs would make. I was so shocked the first time it happened that I nearly ran my car off the road. I guess the FCC doesn't monitor hick radio in these parts.

I don't know if this has been mentioned, and since this is an old thread (original post date), I'm sure the author has seen/read numerous posts about the fanfare/thrill of the NCAAB team the North Carolina Tar Heels, a truly storied franchise.

However, I've been thinking of moving to South Carolina, and I'm actually a huge Duke Blue Devils fan, and as we know, the Tar Heels' #1 rival is Duke.

They've faced off countless times and produced countless forms of human/athletic drama, whether it be during the regular season, ACC tourney, or NCAA tourney.

If you live in North Carolina, you must think about the magic of Tar Heels legends like Rasheed Wallace (an incredible collegiate power-forward who helped his team reach the Final Four in 1995) and complementary 'foils/rivals' like Duke's Michael Dunleavy (a really gifted small forward who effectively positioned Duke to seal the national title in 2001).

In other words, if you're a North Carolina resident, you're probably thinking about the TV-magic of a great Tar Heel or rival Blue Devil. Just ask a former North Carolina visiting/resident athlete such as Wallace or Dunleavy, man!

Live long and prosper...

WALLACE: I'm glad I live in North Carolina.
DUNLEAVY: Yes, that's the plus of being a Tar Heel.
WALLACE: The rivalry between the Tar Heels and Blue Devils is great.
DUNLEAVY: It's really symbolic of American pride in collegiate sports!
WALLACE: People move to North Carolina just to enjoy that...
DUNLEAVY: I don't doubt it.
WALLACE: Hail to North Carolina cable-TV...

I live in Raleigh, North Carolina. If you come down here, I'll show you around.

Edit: Sorry, I didn't know that this was risen from the grave by a necromancer to by a Duke Fan. UNC All the way!
