re: What are some nice towns in the south that you would like to move to?

If you want to experience a little bit of all four seasons, I can't tell you how many people move here in the Charlotte, NC area from up north that love it. A couple nice suburbs with land to purchase include Matthews, Waxhaw, and Weddington. You're just a couple hours from the beach or mountains, whichever you prefer.

Same could probably be said about the Triangle. I don't go up there often enough to make any specific comments though.
