Been living here in NC for the last 5 years and will still be here for another year and a half or so before I'm moved somewhere else.

It's certainly not SD, but I think you'll enjoy the changes in the cost of living. It's way more reasonable out here.

Also, there is plenty to do and see. I've done quite a bit so if you have specific likes/dislikes let me know.

FWIW, I'm a beer snob so being that NC has more breweries than any state south of the Mason-Dixon line and east of the Mississippi, I've traveled pretty much all over the entire state to see the sights and drink the beer. Rich history all the way from the mountains to the coast, good night life in Raleigh, Charlotte, Asheville, and incredible beaches.
