WOW Penny! Good to know that NC has a very healthy city in which to live...I thought it could be Asheville up here in the mountains...but am delighted to know that y'all over there are doing WELL =)
JaneAnne - I wonder if they also took into account the number of world class hospitals and doctors here, I bet that was a factor! I'm sure Asheville ranks way up there too, what a beautiful city with nice, healthy mountain air.
