I grew up in NYC, and have lived for a short while in California, Colorado, Florida and Michigan. My husband and I have lived in this area for eight years. We live in a beautiful rural area, about seven miles from Waynesville, a town of just under 10,000. Here, we have the mountains, lots of waterfalls and creeks, fairly mild weather (though we do have four distinct seasons: both coats and shorts are required). We have shacks to mobile homes to mansions. We have farms, ranches, small businesses all living side by side. Nearby is Asheville, which is sometimes called "Little NY". That has all the arts, culture, food, funkyness, crafts, shopping, etc, etc. Asheville even has a minor league baseball team (Asheville Tourists) which is a farm team for major league's Colorado Rockies. Check it out! B Barbara McD PF--Sept 08; Sjogren's--Apr 09; Reynaud's--seems like forever Beautiful Western NC Attitude is everything.

Now Ken thank you for replying..I do like to play the Game of where would I live IF..... Hawaii is out for me..I wouldn't respond to all that beachy....tourist mecca stuff....now what I'm looking for is the PERFECT place where 1. I would be safe from the worst of Weather extremes (no tornadoes, extreme heat/humidity. .no ridiculously long lasting winter snow/gales/ice on the road etc..airports closed..scary sorta stuff).... 2. reasonable sized but not too citified town that has access to a bigger city with cultural diversity/ a range of arts venues/ good food across a lot of styles (Japanese, Korean, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Indian etc)/ creative shopping outlets (fashion, unusual jewlery, rare & antique bookshops, classical music & European Movie Shops etc 3. Unspoilt areas of natural beauty on my doorstep & lots of parks/gardens within my 'living town". 4. Easy transportation to OTHER places (is a good Rail network) good freeways.... good airport Not much to ask for surely...now as Minister for Distraction I challenge antbody in the mood for such Distraction to find my 'Perfect' location (within the US of A) Cheers, Armchair Travellin' SGIO > > > > > > I've been to the Grand Canyon twice.
