fan geography

Have I mentioned I *love* how Midwestern Supernatural is? As if it didn't delight me enough that every other episode name checks Lawrence, Kansas, they are now headed to Jefferson City! Right now! It's like thirty miles south of my hometown, eee!

Also, as I peruse my post-college life options, there seems to be this percolating possibility that I'm going to end up moving to North Carolina. Anybody out there live in the Raleigh-Durham area? Don't worry, I won't make you help me move! I'm just wondering.

I grew up in the Triangle, and my parents and brother are still there, but unfortunately I'm a Midwesterner now. thisisbone is a North Carolinian, though.

I didn't know you were a Missouri gal, too. And yeah, I love that about this show. So far they've pretty much stuck to the Midwest and I'm loving it. Usually the Midwest is ignored outside of Chicago.

I'm in Raleigh/Chapel Hill. I've been here since college and don't ever see myself leaving. As such, feel free to shoot any/all questions at me.

Miiiiiiizzzzzzz Tallulah (http://home.nc.rr.com/tallulah/) lives in the R-D area, yo.

The Piper just bought a house in Asheville, which is actually kind of a haul from R-D, but hey. I anticipate getting real, real friendly with the OKC-Knoxville flight crews.

Springing this at you a bit out of the blue, but I have a terribly impatient streak: I'm afraid that my mail got lost in the ether or in your spam-filter, but I wanted to let you know that I contacted you about a rather pressing issue via e-mail - if there's any chance you could check, Auburn and me would be very grateful.

I was just there this weekend! It's beautiful, and I'm sort-of kind-of thinking about chapel hill myself.

First, love your fics. You are THE McKay/Ronon God in my universe! I hope RL lets you write more.

Anyway, I just left the Triangle 6 months ago. The job market is great, and housing is very affordable. It's a great place for techies. Half the people there are transplants from NY who came to work in the RTP for Nortel or IBM, back in the day.

Traffic isn't unbearable, but there's lots of sprawl, and many uber burbs. It's the land of SUV's, soccer mom's and NASCAR dad's. Check out Chapel Hill and the Glenwood area for housing and entertainment. There are some cool lofts in Durham, but crime's a problem. Make sure you go to a Durham Bulls game if you visit.

It's a great place to live if you fit in. I just couldn't deal with the whole young republican/bible belt mindset. Now I'm in Eugene, OR, which is much more my element. I don't need makeup or high heels here.
