Give Me the Low Down on Charlotte, NC

Looking for some helpful advice - my family and I are looking to make the move from Western NY and Charlotte has come up as a potential landing spot. I work in the mortgage industry and Charlotte has several opportunities with companies I am looking at. So I'm hoping the friendly people from the Huddle can give me some insight on the city.

 

Mainly I'm looking for some of the nicer areas/neighborhoods to look for houses either in the city or surrounding areas. But any information on the city would be great!

If you're raising a family, or plan on it in the near future, Charlotte is a great place to live.

If you're single and want to live in a city with culture, run away from Charlotte as fast as you can.

 

Spot on.

Charlotte and the surrounding areas are great for raising a family. My biggest issue with the transplants down here now is they get here then bitch about everything and rip on the south. So yah, don't do that.

So I'll just copy and paste from the other thread:

 

Highest sales taxes in the state, highest property taxes in the state.

Infrastructure is atrocious. Interstate system has been struggling to catch up for 20 years. Traffic is horrible.

Uptown/downtown is rather sterile and generic- nothing to really make you remember, "Charlotte!"

Usual mix of upscale restaurants and art galleries trying to make in-roads.

 

There's just no real draw to the city. There are so many more smaller cities around that have much better selling points than Charlotte- Greenville SC, Charleston, Asheville...

 

And to add:

Since moving to the east coast in 1992, I've lived in Greensboro, Asheville and Eastern NC and own a couple properties on the southern NC coast. My wife, who is originally from NYC area and has lived here since 1985, has been offered a couple opportunities in Charlotte over the years and, despite the fact we had PSLs for 17 years and travel to Charlotte many times during the season, there is nothing that is drawing us to live there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.

      So where can I find out tailgating parking spots for the season?

      By toldozer · Posted

      I parked in this lot a few times. It would take over and hour to get out of that lot after games. Never again
