My favorite small cities in the state are Boone, Asheville and Wilmington. As far as the large go, as I said in the other thread, they're all very generic imo. Raleigh and Charlotte are just ridiculous expanding sprawl with no soul but I think Raleigh has more character and life. I live on Lake Norman for what it's worth.

I have no idea why you would want to live in Wilmington other than the water. Also you better have home insurance because that place is hell whenever we get our yearly hurricanes.

Boone is nothing but a big forest. I like outdoors but I also like seeing a lot of people...

Asheville been there once for the Biltmore. Wasn't impressed there either.

You should have your mod privileges revoked for this suggestion.

 

Please tell me this was a joke?

 

I rather live in Fayetteville than that dump. And that's saying a lot because Fayetteville is also a dump.

Your sarcasm detector is completely useless.

Lovely Fayetteville (I legitimately have a soft spot for it despite it's inherent shittiness. Downtown is gorgeous in the spring).

Raleigh is better than Charlotte thanks to the life the colleges give it. And the Canes.

 

I was legit depressed when I lived in Fayetteville.

 

Downtown sucks literally just a block of coffee and sandwich shops. Go to Raleigh downtown it makes Fayetteville look like a backroad hole in the wall.

You never know on this sub. Some people just say anything.

 

Good to know you were joking.

I mean aesthetically. The spring festival I went to in 2012 was great. Really liked the vibe. Not much going on but it felt cozy.

On the whole though, yeah fug Fayetteville. Sharky's scarred me for life

Ok..   to answer these type questions ,, one should ask themselves,  where do I like to vacation.... Because we go to places we like, enjoy.    I have never met some one that said,  " I'm going on vacation,  I'm going to Raleigh/ Charlotte/ Greensboro  etc.   NO !!!!   No one says they want to  go spend a week in any of those.

Try Charleston, Wilmington, ( beaches , arts, history, restaurants ) You can live on beach areas within 50 miles and enjoy.    One can say the same for  Asheville , Greenville SC,  High Country ( Boone area ) with their Mountains in lieu of Beaches.   

Should I be from anywhere else but Wilmington,  Chaws'ton has to be number 1 ..  Kiawah, Folly Beach, Isle of Palms, Seabrook etc.   Excellent Restaurants are everywhere.

I know one thing..  when traveling west from Wilmington up I 40 ..  all the traffic is headed in the other direction,,  toward  Topsail , Surf City, Wrightsville, Kure, Carolina, Oak Island, Sunset, Holden, Ocean Isle Beaches...

Charlotte is the best thing going in NC and it isn't even close.

Some of us beg to differ

Charlotte and Raleigh are AWESOME! I'm so glad there are people who like the dystopian hell holes that we call "cities". Unfortunately, COVID and remote work capabilities opened a lot of folks eyes to life outside of dystopian hell holes. We need to convince more folks that the cities are where it's at.

I visit a lot of places my favorite is Las Vegas.

 

Would I want to live there? Hell no! It's too damn hot.
