Isn't South Carolina run now by Republicans? The more I think about it, the more I like Greenville. Its practically on the same latitude as Los Angeles.

We are Floridians (30 yrs) but my husband would retire to Greenville in a heartbeat.

It's a lovely area....the best of both worlds, so to speak.

Also, the low country of South Carolina is desirable-(Beaufort area)....more humid, I guess, but I like the coast.

Colorado I love dearly, but the cost of housing is almost comparable to California.

I have three kids. All three looked hard at the University of the South (Sewanee) in Sweanee, Tennessee. I spent a couple of weekends up there while my kids looked the place over. I have to say that it is the prettiest place I have been in my life.

Sewanee is about 90 minutes away (southeast) from Nashville and about 45 minutes or an hour away (northwest) from Chattanooga.

Asheville is a nice town, but I would give consideration to a smaller place near Asheville if I was interested in living in the NC Mountains. For instance, Brevard, Hendersonville, etc. are nice.

It can be reasonably warm in the NC mountains during the day, but at night, it cools down nicely.

The weather in the NC mountains varies greatly. For instance, Brevard is on the west side of some ridge and as a result, it rains a lot there whereas on the other side of that ridge, there is much less rainfall.

Only if you call Lindsey Graham...a Republican :^(

Having been in (but never lived in) the Carolinas,Georgia and Florida in the summer you should be aware of the *humidity*! And the skeeters.
