I live in the eastern half of NC, about an hour from most of the decent cities in the state (Raleigh, Greenville, etc). I'm working on getting an apartment in raleigh though to be closer to work and stuffs.

You wouldn't want to vacation in my particular town, because it sucks ass, but about 2 hours away we have a bunch of really nice beaches and what not, and raleigh is a pretty nice town too
