a bit of a lurker on here guys, but i figured i'd take a minute to post, granted this is an older thread.
i'm about 2 hours east of charlotte, near Rockingham, and an hour or so below Fayetteville. 2 hours from everything, actually, it's a good 2 hour drive to Raleigh, 2 hours to the coast, 2 hours from the greater charlotte area (i do go to Concord Mills quite often, though.)
