I'm here in Durham came from CA in 2007 and never been more homesick than i am right now. I don't know where Lake Lure or Fletcher are but if you're in Western NC you will probably encounter many people who already believe that trump won the election. Here in the triangle I am in a very blue area thankfully.

Welcome to NC, I hope you do well here. it is a beautiful state with some real shitty politics. it's been very good for my family and me in terms of opportunity and lifting up our lifestyle. we've done so much better than we could have accomplished in CA just because of the cost of living. Our trip here was serendipitous; we've been lucky.

still homesick.
