Hi, folks.
Current PA Poconos resident; grew up in NJ and couldn't wait to get the heck out.
Just crossed the middle age bracket, and looking towards the (near) future for a more final settlement area for retirement.
NC is high on the list between the wife and I, so wanted to reach out to you all to see if we'd even be welcome there....
(figure you guys need any help with red voters you can get with the waves of blue coming into Cary/Raleigh...)
Are areas like Greenville, Wilson, or Rocky Mount any good? (cost of living, accessibility to some convenience, political drama, etc) Location-wise, it seems ideal since they're within an hour or so of Raleigh, and within a few hours of shore points like OBX or Emerald.
I love to fish, camp, and we enjoy visiting the shore periodically (but can be just at home in the mountains as well)
From the initial looks of it, there aren't many ranges on the eastern half of the state, so shooting would require more travel?
Eager to hear from you all.
Thanks,
E.
