I've been in NC since 1994. Mountains on one side, beach on the other. Weather isn't too extreme, lots of state parks and wildlife, great economy (if you're near Raleigh), some of the best state schools in the country. Cost of living is generally reasonable. The downsides include a ton of judgemental religious fanatacism and the thinking can be a bit 1950s if you are outside of the metropolitan areas.
