I once almost moved to North Carolina

First of all, I'm such a 'city' person, and I am from NY, complete w accent.

We were being shown houses with a re agent, and I ask 'where's the nearest Catholic church?' and he's all 'end of town...but there are 5 Baptist ones on the next street if you're interested'

'Where's a good place to go out clubbing?' answer: "ATLANTA' <---#######? you have to leave the state????

and the clincher:

'Where's the nearest Jewish synagogue?' (Jews and Italians are practically the same, lol) Answer: hrmmm....like a place for that them there Jewish folk?'

what the fuque, I say! I promptly did a 'kthxbye' right then and there.

LMAO. What part of NC was this, Raleigh-Durham and Charlotte are quite metropolitan, I could totally see myself in either place.

Actually, now that I think of it, it was SOUTH Carolina. Greenville.

I had done a ton of research on the place, and on paper it didn't seem to me that it would be so backwards.

Greenville is very different now, too. I haven't been but I've heard. A bunch of big employers have moved there and transferred people from Jersey and Long Island, consequently it's a lot less provincial than it used to be. MetLife and United Health come to mind, there are others.

This was back in like 99. But back in 94 when I was in college, I had to do a feasibility study on relocating, and I was given Greenville. At the time, iirc, BMW is HQd there, 3M, and a few other big ones. I was impressed on paper. Years later in 98-99, my ex was offered a transfer there I was like 'hey I've researched the shiznit outta that place', so I updated some stats & we went to check it out.

At that time, to me, it seemed wayyyy more backwards than what it looked like on paper...then again, as you point out, it's grown now.

I can't live anywhere where there's blue laws and no hooch is sold on Sunday, and where a Jew is considered 'that them there folk' newp

Wow, Rey and I can see all our dreams coming true. Rey couldn't stop speculating on what that house might be across the street from.

ROFL. To be fair, though, Irvington is called the dirty irv for a reason. The entire city looks like a warzone.

You call it "the dirty irv"; I call it my future home.

Well, all I can say is, throw out your red, blue and gold clothing. Unless, of course, you want to be a Blood, Crip or a Latin King

Rey feels the Latin Kings would be the best fit. *sigh* It reminds me of shopping for colleges...

I recommend a campus visit.

ROFLx2.

Who knows, maybe we could get hazed into a local fraternity on such a visit. We can hardly wait!
