North Carolina vs Arkansas

OK, I've been in the Natural State for eight months now. So being the "list" kinda guy that I am, I thought I'd make a list of things I miss about N.C. and things Ark. brings to the table that make me happy here.

So, without further ado, here's N.C. (in no particular order after the first one):

• family and friends
• lottery
• Cook Out (the restaurant)
• Western N.C. barbeque (yes, Dan, that's WESTERN N.C. BBQ) :)
• being able to buy beer in the grocery store or gas station
• multiple entities of Bojangles
• Cherry Lemon Sun-Drop
• livermush
• ACC basketball (sorry, SEC)
  
• lower sales tax (and doesn't vary depending on the county/city)
• less tornadoes
  

And Arkansas brings some too (also, no particular order):

• great new friends
  
• beautiful country with PLENTY of outdoorsy opportunities
  
• no inspection sticker for your car
• MANY Wal-Marts (so you're not fighting everyone in the same one)
• it's not Rocky Mount (no offense, RM)
• less humidity (at least so far)
• cheaper gas
• BBQ here is actually pretty good also
  
• MUCH better job (see "it's not Rocky Mount")
  
• no hurricanes (the weather, not the hockey team)
• SEC football (sorry, ACC)
  
• AQ Chicken

So, there you have it. I miss North Carolina. But Arkansas is definitely starting to feel like home.

*-Please note, this is all in fun.
