Moving from Jersey to possibly Charlotte or Atlanta area

[67ragtp]

We are planning on moving and want to check out the suburbs of Charlotte or Atlanta(possibly stone mountain area). Can anyone make some suggestions on nice towns to check out. We want to build but also do not want to live too remote. Really dont want to be to far from civilization/culture/ shopping/ theaters etc. Coming from north Jersey where we live in the land of shopping malls and NYC you can imagine if I lived to far out I might freak! Would also be nice to be near industry for potential work.

Thanks Rich
