Charlotte, NC Named Best Place to Live
Apparently, there's just something about North Carolina. For the second year in a row, America's best city in which to live lies within its borders, according to Relocate-America.com's annual list. This year, Charlotte, N.C., is in the top spot, the site announced this week. Last year's winner was Asheville, N.C., which slipped to No. 7 on this year's list. Other top places are runner-up San Antonio, TX, Chattanooga, TN, Greenville, SC and Tulsa, OK.
