- I have absolutely FELL IN LOVE with Western North Carolina! I am from New England and the region of W. N.C. has everything I could want!
I have been living in Spartanburg S.C. and I hate it! It sucks! There is so much crime and the people just want to back you into a corner and argue with you until you come out swinging! WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?!
I want a small town in the mountains, maybe work at hospital or continue to work at Spartanburg Regional until I can find something closer.
Any helpers? Thans in advance!
HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS!

- I appreciated visiting your web blog. I found somethings interesting but in Western North Carolina, other than Asheville and Cherokee, where do you go for metaphysical items, alternative thinking, healing, meditation and other like minded things?
