North Carolina has bustling big cities and beautiful stretches of wide-open spaces for miles and miles. Of course, beautiful scenery is always right around the corner – but some prefer to really be in the middle of the scenery, away from it all. Rural North Carolina is beautiful place to live – trust me, I have personal ties to the area. There’s no other place I’d want to grow up. My first article seemed to touch a lot of people who had the same experiences as I did, so why not do a second to prove just how beautiful our ‘country way of living’ really is?
