". . . Asheville, Greensboro . . . "
----------------------------
I'm in Winston-Salem - between those two but much closer to Greensboro. I can't imagine a better place and it fits pretty well with what you describe. I definitely have situational bias but I can't imagine better. Let me know if I can help you further.
