Day 33: North Carolina

Edwards as a VP candidate and NC goes 56% for Bush. I have a good feeling about NC.

Oh, I am wondering, how is it in NC? What's it like there? Overall, is the state a nice place to live? Where are the good and bad areas? Does any part get snow? You see, I'm thinking of moving there when I get older.

the mountains get  quite a bit of snow.  the piedmont and coastal plain get little.

most newcomers to the state live in the I-85 crecent, from charlotte-raleigh-durham.

outside of that, the state is still prety poor.

This (second paragraph) is pretty accurate, as that is really the only culturally diverse part of N.C.

South. And it (Emerald Isle) is technically not part of the Outer Banks.

The entire Raleigh area (including Durham) is very pleasant.  It's nothing like a Northeastern city.  It's more like my suburban New Jersey area than a city.  It does have some significantly urbanized areas but not very urbanized.  Charlotte on the other hand, I've never been to but heard it has much more of a city feel.

I'm not too familiar with Charlotte, but it does seem to me to be much more Southern culturally than the Raleigh area.
