South as in the United states.
I want to live somewhere with rich history, tons of trees, a southern house (such as the one in the notebook), etc.

I like NC the best. Here is why. I have been to 40 of the 50 states and I lhave lived in several of them. But for some reason I like NC the best. It is absolutely beautiful country.
The geographic location - sits central on the east coast. It has the mountains and coast. I can be in DC on Capitol Hill in 5 hrs or ATL in 6 hrs driving. In Raleigh, I can be at the beach in 1.5 - 2 hrs or mountains in 2-3 hrs. It is an awesome life style.
Cost of living - cheaper than other metro areas in the US, but will change and go up since it is growing at an incredible rate.
Employment - pertains to Raleigh (RTP), Charlotte, and Wilmington. RTP = largest R&D park in the country. Lot of employers. Charlotte = banking capital.
Weather - All 4 seasons and all of them are generally mild.
Education - Several great colleges and universities close together. College basketball is huge down tobacco road. ACC is the best conference in the country for NCAA basketball... Plus all of the universities drive a lot of underground interests and art. Did you know that 80% of people living in the triangle are college educated and one of the highest concentration of PHDs in the country? The area was voted by Money magazine as one of the best places to live in the US and Number one to start a business.
Entertainment - Carolina Hurricanes are the 2006 Stanley Cup winners, and the Carolina Panthers are looking like they are going to the Super bowl, or at least the playoffs again. NCAA basketball = UNC Tarheels, Duke Bluedevils, NC State Wolfpack, and Wake Forest Demon Deacons. Falls and Jordan Lakes in Raleigh, Norman near Charlotte. Downtowns offer great restaurants and bars. They still have a ways to go on this aspect of entertainment, but they are addressing it too.
Economy - It is growing at an incredible rate. 29 states showed a slump in housing, RDU is up 14%.
Raleigh is growing and people from all over are discovering it and falling in love with it. The night life may not be that of NYC, or any other huge metro area, but it has a lot going for it. You can not buy mountain or coastal property for $300k in NYC or CA either... Over all life style is wonderful in NC. It is the next hot spot for development on the East Coast. What am I talking about, it has already been going on. I could go on and on....

i've got had a glass of wine and that i'm feeling jovial on the Friday night. South Africa is a superb place. Pity with regard to the government. Cape city is the appropriate place again, as they cater for vacationers and the risk-free practices is surprisingly sharp in places frequented by utilising vacationers, like the Waterfront. e book by using a traveling organization and you'd be certain which you have a greater effectual probability of traveling effectively.

I visited SanAntonio a couple years ago and it was the nicest city I've ever visited. I live in a small town and if I ever needed to move to a big city I would want it to be San Antonio. The people are very friendly and there are tons of things to do downtown. We spent a lot of time on the river walk near the Alamo.

Pensacola, Florida is a beautiful place to live. It is in Northwest Fl near Mobile, AL. It has a very rich history (the earliest settlement in the United States), lots of trees and lots of old homes. It is big city advantages, but is a small town. Crime is low. Also pay is low, but it is beautiful!

Huntsville, Alabama - no question!!!!!
LOTS of trees, lakes, golf, performing arts, and plenty of things to do.
If you like to fish, you will love it.
The night life is pretty good as well, however, there is a lot of country music. You also have great opportunities for employment with the Redstone Arsenal and the Marshall Space Flight Center there.
Huntsville is a mid-sized town with a big city attitude. They like their leisure facilities and their high tech industry.
Oh yeah, the cost of living is below the national average.

Texas may not have as many trees as some southern states but it is definitely rich in history and the BBQ is to die for.

South Carolina, rich in history and just a beautiful state everywhere you go, I really enjoyed my visit. Georga also has a really pretty state with lots of southern history.

Raleigh, North Carolina (or nearby Cary, NC). Check those two out and I bet you find very similar opinions. BTW, 'The Notebook' was filmed in NC.

Anywhere in the Mississippi Delta. There's plenty of trees, plenty of cotton, plenty of southern homes, and PLENTY history.
