It's time to move on...

**Danny** · 08-21-2008, 04:58 PM

... from Columbia. Recently Nichole and I decided to make the first move of our marriage - from Columbia, SC to Brevard, NC. I've lived in Columbia for 10 years now and Nichole has lived here much longer than that, so it's time for us to branch out a little to see what all is out there.

At one point there was a job opportunity that would have taken us all the way to Los Angeles, but when we decided against that (for many factors), we decided to start looking around at where we wanted to go.

Colorado was high on the list, but in the end we decided to go with a mountain town that wouldn't be too far from our family and friends, but would still give us what we were looking for in nature, activities, and values. It will be a big change for us as we'll be moving from the state capital and a fairly good-sized city to a small town, but I think it will suit us just right.

We'll be moving in mid-September, so if any of you PriusChatters find yourselves in the area after that, give me a holler!

PS - what do you think of these plates?

DH will be just a few miles north of you- maybe sometime when i go to visit we can finally meet you folks!

good luck with the move.

Close to Asheville, the Blue Ridge Parkway and all those fine furniture-makers? Good choice.

The +MPG is better. A surprising proportion of the public will not understand 'greater than'.

You've made a great decision.

You don't want to come to L.A. Prices are high and opportunities low. Sounds like you've chosen a lovely town for all of the right reasons.

Welcome, new neighbor! I'm in Hickory.

So now you're a Tar Heel!

Good luck moving! It is a pain in the xxs, but has to be done. I'm sure your going to get rid of the stuff you saved over the years and wondered why you kept it.

I lived in Brevard for awhile and loved it - the prettiest area on earth in my opinion. Hendersonville (30 mins away) is great as well and where I bought my Prius. I'm jealous. But I'm not that far away, and often get back to Brevard for fun

Congratulations to both you and Nichole, Danny! It looks like a great place to live.

I agree with DAS about +MPG.
