I lived close to WS for many years, the car scene is big there. You will see all types, and you wont be far from Charlotte N.C. I have several friends that live in WS. Nice town

   I was looking at the WS craigslist, most old cars had very little rust. I'm assuming no salt ?

Get a pretty good amount of snow in that and surrounding areas, most of you older cars had undercoating. That was big back in the day. And DOT uses the heck out of salt.

                  Well, considering that over 1000 people a day move to Fl. is a start. Traffic is always heavy. It can take an hour to go 20 miles in Orlando. Just to name a few.  Then there's the crime. You have to constantly be aware of your surrounding anytime you leave the house. And gangs, yep we got em.

                 I just want to spend my retirement in a more country atmosphere. Where you have a change of seasons, country roads, old time towns, etc.  :alan2cents:

I have lived on east side of Orlando for the past 15 years; love it here. Traffic is nothing compared to large cities. Crime is confined mostly to a few areas that most sane people stay away from. Car scene is great with shows every weekend, put on by cruisinorlando.com. There must be something right in Florida as our population continues to grow; I wish more people would resettle someplace else before it really does become too crowded down here. Carolinas are beautiful, but don't bash Florida if it wasn't right for you.

Excellent location, I-40 gets a little busy during Morning & Quitting times but the "Country" area is good people.

I love the Carolina s, beautiful and generally nice people in my experience.  My inlaws live near Myrtle beach  right on the border of north and south. I like the ocean but would prefer to live inland more. South Carolina seems cheaper to live.  I like wide open spaces with less people. Florida is a nice place to visit ( I have family in Ocala , was married in Vero beach.) Again nice place but it wouldn't be in my top 10 places to live. Carolina's would be in my top 5 places to live in the USA.
Roadman I wish you well in your quest!  :rebelflag"

Yep, I was just getting around to this thread.  Roadman, we used to live an hour away from Winston across the Va line inStuart. Winston has grown a lot over the years. Traffic on 52 and 40 can get hectic , but if you are looking around on the outer towns, then you will be fine. I remember going there to shop with my parents back in the day when RJ Renolds was going strong in the cigarette business,,,oh my, what a good smell of flue cured tobacco. Now it just smells like any other city.  Oh well, I wish you good luck in your move. Right now ,we live in Rockingham which is about 1 1/2 hrs south.
