North Carolina natives

I've been here since March 31st 1948 except for 2 years 11 months & 20 days when I worked for Uncle Sam 1966 to 1969. But I got to travel all over the U.S as a truck driver for 39 years. Now I get to travel all over in the 5er it just doesn't pay very good.


Jerry: In the Blue Ridge Mountains.

I am an expatriate from NJ, in NC by choice (since 2001). After 9/11/01 I wanted out of NJ (across the Hudson from NYC). I consider myself a North Carolinian, as I graduated from the best University on the planet! I now live in the mountains near Asheville and love every minute of it.

This is TRULY God's country!:B

Born in Greensboro, NC and now live in Apex... Been here since since 1988...

Can't say I'm a native but hubby is! I've been in NC since 1977....plan to stay :-)

We are sort of. We're in Charlotte living in an RV Park paying NC income tax and sales taxes. Been here since mid-January. But we're only here for another month.

In the last 8 years, we've also lived in Statesville 2005-06 and Mount Airy 2009-10. We even bought a new RV when we lived in Statesville. But it had FL plates.

Where do you get only 5 state parks have campgrounds? There's more than that. And theres plenty more with primitive camp sites.

The park ranger app on my iPhone only shows 5 state parks with campgrounds....

Gew up in DC, North Carolinian by choice. My big brother was stationed at Cherry Point when he got back from Vietnam.

He met a local girl on a blind date (whose daddy was one of the four guys who put every penny they could scrape up into buying a barren 12mile stretch of sand in the 1950s, now known as Emerald Isle. Lobbied Raleigh to get the bridge built.)

So he married her and our family started renting a shack on the island for a week every summer in the early 70s. They'll all be here in June. Fourth generation now, shack is nicer.

Our late, wonderful Mom and Dad retired here. Other brother married a girl from Beaufort. We made the move five years ago. That one blind date changed a lot of lives.

I suggest everyone who currently lives there is a North Carolina resident. :h
