Weather-wise, the summers are hit or miss and winters are stable. You get used to it after the first year.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a accountant who relocated here from Raleigh about 14 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and a job opportunity.

Pros I've experienced:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Active local events and festivals
- Diverse dining options

Cons that are real:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Not a lot of cultural diversity

Financially, we've found it tough compared to where we came from. It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. Groceries are stable, gas is pretty good.

Socially, it was the best decision I ever made. Hope this helps!.
