Hope you don't mind if a Charlottean joins in your discussion. I do have historical connections to the Triangle and environs, as my father's side hailed from Chatham and Wake Counties, and he did his cypherin' at Chapel Hill...although he redirected me to Kerry Country for my own weak attempts at the cyphering trade.

Look forward to a lively and illuminating discussion!
