Good to know. . . (about NC)
> I saw more Targets in North Carolina than Wal-Marts. In fact, I only saw two Wal-Marts and that was in rural North Carolina enroute to Charlotte.
> Charlotte is the largest city in North Carolina and therefore has the worst traffic. I experienced it first hand and much appreciate the lack of traffic in Raleigh. (BTW, traffic in Vegas is nearing the ridiculousness of LA.)
> Car registration in North Carolina is much cheaper than in Nevada. Annual registration fees for two cars is less than $75, regardless of the vehicle’s value.
> State income tax is less than California’s, the only state I know enough about to compare.
> Chapel Hill is fantastic... a true college town that surrounds an amazing university, UNC Chapel Hill.
> Carolina Coffee Shop in Chapel Hill is not your typical coffee shop, worth a visit, but a little pricey.
> Sadly missed James Joyce’s Irish Pub in Durham where you can get true Irish Coffee... we’re talkin liquor, but not Irish Creme.
> Triangle Town Center is thee mall in Raleigh, not Crabtree like many ads would like to make you think... North Hills gets runner up.
> Sweet tea is too sweet, but tasty nonetheless.
> Fried chicken and biscuits are as plentiful in the south as crepes are in Paris, or another comparison, as plentiful as slot machines in Las Vegas.
> Wilmington and the Carolina coast are less than two and a half hours away... well worth the drive to visit the majestic Atlantic.
> Drive another 30-40 minutes south (nearly to South Carolina and Myrtle Beach) and visit Sunset and Ocean Isle Beahces, both beautiful and home to Amber’s parents.
> The nearest IKEA is about a six hour drive away in Virginia (in the DC area).
> The Sugar Shack in Ocean Isle Beach has great, authentic Jamaican food. Expensive but the best jerk ribs I’ve ever had and plentiful, too.
> Good for pa... NASCAR's home is in Charlotte, NC, and NASCAR just announced they'll build their Hall of Fame there... a short two hours from Raleigh.
