lots of business parks, like silicon valley but cheaper. north carolina is not a terrible place to live in most measurable ways.

so i lived in nc for 4 years and the bbq sucks, which is weird because vinegar is amazing.

anyhow the big thing in nc is ‘chopped’ bbq where you smoke a pork shoulder and then chop it into a textureless mush.

it’s still bbq sp it’s still delicious but super lame compared to the good texas bbq i’ve had

california in general is bad, op

the weather is nice but the entire population is garbage and the cost of living is outrageous just to be up to your ears in people.

it also probably won't exist in 10 years, once the water levels rise, but at least they won't have to worry about fires i guess.

i think i'm going to move to humboldt county, i lived there before and loved it, but the economy sucks and jobs suck. however if you're a programming making $$$ remotely it's a fantastic wonderful place to live that's cheap and beautiful.
