re: Best state in the south

NC without a doubt. Nice 4 seasons, varied topography from mountains to barrier islands. Reasonably large cities to tiny little mountain towns.

This. Charlotte is a big city yet you can drive an hour west and be in a small mountain town.

I wouldn't say nice 4 seasons, its muggy most of the year and can get chilly. Granted it isn't like the midwest. It does have varied topography, but it seems like FOREVER driving from one to the other. Large cities have tons of things to do, but they are packed in. Small towns are pretty trashy, but nice.

I was stationed at Lejeune and theres a difference from Jacksonville to Richlands (30 mins) and different from the big cities (1-3 hrs). The beaches are amazing and I honestly enjoyed them more than cali beaches.

It is "the south", but the area in NC depends on that. Larger cities, no, they claim it though. Smaller rural cities, yes, and you can understand why on a Sunday morning at a piggly wiggly.

Overall NC is a pretty good state. I would say it is indeed more "southern" than NWA.

I'm from the north though, and "southern feeling" can be felt the same in rural areas tbh.
