Cynthia - The area seems to have alot to offer, with the new year approaching here is hoping your enticing offer will appeal to some new business, which then leads to purchase of residential properties. Interesting pirate, Port Royal in Jamaica was one of the pirate's hangout, the city was destroyed by earthquake and the feeling by some was that this was because of the debauchery.

Cynthia - I can agree with you on NC being a wonderful place to live. On top of the natural beauty in the state, North Carolina is so centally located on the East Coast. You're within a short drive to the major hubs of the east. I really enjoy your localism pieces.

Wow Cynthia! That's quite a few reasons to check into Eastern North Carolina! Sounds like a place I want to visit. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Hello Jennifer,
I am proud of all the advantages that our area has to offer businesses as well as residents.

Blackbeard was quite a character. Interesting that people believe the earthquake was due to his immoral lifestyle.

Hi Linda,
Thanks for your endorsement of my area, it is a beautiful area indeed with lots to offer.

Irina,
I hope you will come visit Eastern N C, be prepared because you will not want to leave. Thanks for stopping in and commenting.

Hi Cynthia, great information. It's my understanding that half the population in NC comes from New Jersey!

Isn't it a great state in which to live and work! We are so lucky.

Lisa,
True, especially in the resort areas such as beach and lakes. :0)

Hi Diane,
It certainly is and we are definitely fortunate to live here in the Tarheel state. Thanks.

Cynthia, I know North Carolina is one of the best places to retire because of the weather and low taxes. I haven't been there in so long but I do remember it's beautiful!

Hi Cynthia, your have outlined some great qualities for living and working in your area....the photos are great too. Nice post Cynthia.

Good Sunday morning Carole,
It's time to come for another visit. Have a great day.

Hi Gary,
Thank you. We are fortunate to live in such a great state.

Hi Cynthia, I love the photos, what a great post for your community. It has been a long time since I have been there and look forward to another visit.

Hi Cynthia, good information on why one should relocate to North Carolina. I know of a "few" who have left our wonderful state to go there. We are also a right to work state. We do not have deep ports nearby though. What is the weather like, typically? Humid? Tornados or Hurricanes? Mosquitos? Arizona has heat, and lots of it. So what's it like there?

Hello Keith & Robin,
Well sounds like it time for a trip to NC for you guys. :0)

Hi Teri,
Our summers are humid, we very seldom have tornadoes but.... hurricanes --we had more than our share a few years ago but have not had a serious one in several years now. Mosquitoes, yes we have them but not usually a problem for being outdoors. The Spring and Fall are our very best times of the year. Thanksgiving Day our temperature was mid 70s, that's warmer than usual. We usually have some very cold days in January and February but by March, we are warming up again. Thanks for asking.

Could you imagine truly calling anywhere but NC home? What a great time of year along the cost. Nice post

Cynthia - As much as I look forward to your posts, this is one I'm wishing I'd have missed - the post itself is well written and informative - who wouldn't want to visit and check the area out? That picture really does speak a 1000 words! And on top of that I read in the comments how wonderful the weather is..you're killing me over here! Do you have any idea how cold it is here in the Boston area tonight and it's not even February?!

Jackie

CYNTHIA: This a very informative post. I always like to learn as much as posible about North Carolina, since so many Long Islanders are relocating to your area. I've bookmarked this for future reference.

Cynthia - You make a very enticing invitation to check out North Carolina. Great post!

NC for Less (Wish I had your name :0)
No, I cannot and I have tried different areas. Fall is a beautiful time of year on the coast and our temperature are still pretty mild although we do have some cool days. Thanks for stopping in and commenting.

Michael,
Where in NC did your friends' family move? If you have never visited our beautiful state, you should plan a trip. Thanks for your visit and comments.

Hello Jackie,
How cold is it there? I do not envy the cold weather, anything below 70 is too cold for me. LOL. We have not had a freeze yet but have gotten close. But the next day the temps rose to the high 60s. You really should come south, my friend.

Hi Adam,
You are right, lots of people from your area end up in paradise (NC). :0)

Tom,
My goal is to recruit the Yankees to the Confederacy! :0)

Cynthia- today it was relatively warm, just rainy and foggy - not too bad at all and tonight it will be warm as well. Tomorrow night will dip back into the 20's though...brrrr.

You and Elizabeth do make some compelling arguments for that big move!

Jackie

Ok Jackie,
So are you convinced yet? We need some good stagers here.

Cynthia - let's just say I'll be leave that dog to sleep for a just a little bit longer.

Hi Jackie,
Ok, the dog is sleeping and dreaming of warmer climates.

Cynthia- LOL! Yes and as cold as I've been all day, I've been dreaming too! But it sure is pretty to watch the snow fall - now if only it would hurry up and warm up and melt!
