re: A couple questions for those who are familiar with Greenville SC

Great mid-sized city. If you like the outdoors, there aren't many better options for a city that size on the east coast. If you or the wife are wine fans, there are some great small vineyards within an hours drive in the Tryon/Saluda, NC area. Not to mention the craft beer scene in Asheville is also a quick drive away.

Hell I'd move there just for the proximity of several great white water rivers.
