There used to be a user group in Greensboro. Maybe there's enough interest to get it started again.

>Outside of Charlotte would not be too bad, but the metro area is a disaster to live and drive in. Greensboro/High Point is my personal preference. I like the schools there and the area as well. It is about 1.5 hours to drive to Charlotte from Greensboro (depending on which side of the city you are leaving and going to) so attending a user group may be an option periodically even from there!
