I’m a damn yankee and I moved to NC because of its low cost of living. No way I could afford to live on my own where my parents reside in the state of MD. By the way, I don’t live in Cary, I’m roughing it with the natives. :-P
I moved my family down here from Northern VA 8 years ago and now live among the natives of the 2nd Congressional District AKA Johnston County. Last year we barely nudged Bob "Who are you" Etheridge out of office and now have a stronger reshaped district that truely represents the natives and yankee refugees of Johnston County, thanks to our new and improved state legislators. Hopefully next year's Democratic National Convention in Charlotte will be reminiscent of Napoleon and Hitler's retreats from Moscow.
