It helps me get some sense of where things are (I'm very visual). I teach for the University of Wisconsin and have talked with my wife about traveling to NC sometime this summer after classes are over to visit and this will help. I've been in NC before and have loved it - you're right, the people are great. My wife and I have talked about retiring there in a few years. Last night I was a bit excited to hear from people (I've been looking for this information for many many years) and the kindness of folks sharing information is more appreciated than I can express. Now I just have to figure out how to find people when I get there. Anyway, Thanks Bill Powell
