Scott, my Dad lived in Charlotte - Mooresville, to be exact. It's really pretty there - he lived on Lake Norman in a rambling house on a large, densely-wooded lot with a pretty stone path that went down to a dock on the lake. The folks were some of the nicest I've ever met. His neighbors were wonderful in his final weeks and still are.
Still, I'd live in Manhattan. Like the Glenn Frey song goes, I belong to the city, concrete under my feet, it's in my moves, it's in my blood, ...
Oh. Sorry.
