North Carolina

A Great state and not a place of just backwoods rednecks. Summers are warm, winters are cool. We can't drive in snow/ice like you northerners, so don't pick on us. Mountains on the west, beaches on the east, and everywhere between is beautiful. Big cities, but filled with nice southern folk who will talk your head off if you let them.

A place where ACC basketball is life. Everyone has a team they love UNC or hate Duke.

When passing through Raleigh, stop at Char Grill and grab a Cheerwine.

Know for its blue skies beautiful mountains and wonderful beaches. Outside of Charlotte and the Triad North Carolina is your everyday peaceful southern state. Cheerwine Pepsi and sundrop all grew up here. Bojangles lives here. Known for its college basketball and football programs. Duke Basketball 4 national championships 15 final fours. UNC Chapel Hill 5 National Championships 18 final fours. NC State 2 National Championships 3 final fours. Wake Forest 1 final four. UNC Charlotte 1 final four. An awesome State!

To sum up, North Carolina is basically the South's version of California: it has plenty of urbane cities, mountians, and beautiful coastline. There's something there for everyone (This coming from someone outside of the South), including counties and cities full of lefties and some that are crammed full of rednecks. By and large it does seem to get a bad rap, perhaps becuase of its proximity to South Carolina, which is utterly dysfunctional.

The finest state in the nation.

a great state (coming from a marylander's point of view) home of the banks, the heels, open land, and great people

the best damn state in the nation! from the OBX to the great Blue Ridge it's all around sweet...for those of you who think that we're nothing but backwoods rednecks, you've got another thing comin' and had your head out your a$$ soon b/c you can come on down and we'll show you how it's done!
home to the best basketball teams in the country (UNC baby!) and home to the best barbeque anywhere...eastern nc style...
the women are sexy, the tobacco is plentiful, the countryside is beautiful, the beach is sick, the cities are sweet, and the colleges are even sweeter...

state with the best basketball teams in the country.
