Charlotte? Ugh! (That's not fair, I really don't know much about the Charlotte area other than it is very oriented toward business, bankers, and Republicans.)

But you would at least be close enough to visit back and forth fairly reg'lar like, and when you was taking breaks from working in P-Vine's gardens you could come and work in mine:^)

I will tell you, the climate ain't good. Think hot. Think humid.   Think smog. The southern mountains, or at least some foothills with a bit more elevation, are within 2 hours northwest of Charlotte. If that is close enough to the P-Vine's youngin's and grandkids, think about that.

I have heard vicious rumors that women from Charlotte wear make-up and insist on hot showers when they go camping. Worse than that, I've heard they wear "foundation garments,", pantyhose, high heels and rouge to work. The men wear wool suits and expensive ties to NASCAR races. Leastways, that is what is whispered.

Now I don't know, I might be makin' some assumptions here, but I think you would be happier around Southern Baptist beer drinkers in biker t-shirts who vote Republican out of fear rather than greed. If I'm right, Bobear, look to those southern Mountains.
