I also know where all of these cities are too! (yay for geography skills!) Morganton has nothing going on for it, except the exit for hightway 64 and the nc school of the deaf (which is a really pretty building) Boone is too full of hippies and yuppies and skiers and little old laides who are over from Blowing Rock, but i grew up just north of Boone so i'm biased. I went to boarding school in Durham at NCSSM and hated it too- too big, too many seedy people, too much concrete, too hot. CHarlotte isn't that bad if you're in downtown- Martel and I had a wonderful weekend there last year and went to the two locations of the Mint Museum.
My List:
LOVE:
Asheville NC -(i live here, such a good vibe, so much to do, cool downtown, great outdoors stuff, real estate is a little high but other than that there's so many interesting people!)
Wrightsville Beach NC- I love the beaches, and the houses, and the people, and the shopping in the surrounding areas!
Palm Beach, Fla- So sunny and clean and all about some stucco! I love the big ritzy houses and the spanish inspired archetecutre and all the Flordia sunshine!
London- Soooo Faboo! i loved how BIG it was but every street felt intimate and everything was so interconnected. I also loved how OLD everything was! the city had such caracter!
Bath- all the Roman stuff and the old buildings and the green.... basically, i LOVE england!!!
REALLY COULD HAVE DONE WITHOUT:
Winston-Salem, NC- gritty, sprawling, ugly, commercial, and not very interesting on top of everything
Durham NC- see aforementioned reasons. There's maybe three pretty things about the whole city- NCSSM, the neighborhood to one direction where all the teachers live, and the Duke campus. There was a drug bust at a house across the street from my boarding school one night when we were playing capture the flag on the lawns- riot gear, gunshots, the works. we quickly decided to go play something else!
I really need to get out more.... Tho i do know a lot about my home state!
