(4,465 posts)I'm a native but I don't meet many others who can claim that, people that move here usually love it. You'd never know you were in the South really until High Summer when it gets so hot you can't go outside midday other than to and from your car unless you can take a shower afterward. And I guess there are a lot of Churches, one on every other street corner practically but some of them are pretty little buildings, so there's that.
And on Sunday grocery stores are pretty much ghost towns, which is really awesome. oh! and we can now buy beer on Sundays! which I never thought I'd see.
Plus, the nightlife, outdoor festivals and concerts, Mountains to the North and beaches to the east and Florida's and Alabama's coasts are a just a few hours drive away.
There's lots of wide open clean green space here as well, parks as well as wilderness to explore. As far as food goes you'll find some out of this world restaurants. BBQ, fried chicken, grits and sweet ice tea are not to be missed.
