Yeah, for you is sort of what it's all about. Still I've had the sense in the past that you'd pull up stakes and head for europe given the right circumstances.
I've never been to Charlotte but given the number of my religious relatives who have moved to North Carolina (sorry about that) I think it wouldn't suit me in at least that regard. Likewise with the humidity assuming it is anything like it was in Maryland, outside of DC. Likewise with the heat, I'm a fragile flower. For that matter while an occasional snow sounds romantic it is also inconvenient and would limit what I can grow. (I'm not that good a gardener really, the location has to meet me more than half way.) All my cousins rave about their buying power there. "Living large" they call it. I'd rather be a little frugal in balmy coastal California though.
But to each his own and I'm happy you have this bond with where you live. In French "connaitre= to know" is reserved for people and places. Everything else gets "savior". I like to think that because both are not completely, finally knowable. You can know a person very well but they can always surprise you or even themselves. Only places are also like that.
