Hey all,

I'm moving to Charlotte in late May after I graduate veterinary school this Friday. I've been trying to find a place online but haven't been able to check anywhere out since I live in Mississippi. Anyone know of some decent places to live or people looking for a housemate? I am hoping to keep rent and pet fees (I will be bringing a dog) under $850. I'll be working at Carolina Veterinary Specialists (all 3 clinics: SW Charlotte, Matthews, and huntersville. I think the South Park, Dilworth, and Ballantyne areas are great but will be open to pretty much anywhere (I've heard east Charlotte other than parts of NoDa and Plaza Midwood can be less than ideal).

Let me know!

You're gonna fall in love with the Charlotte highway system if you have to travel between clinics. I think you might do better to find a place near the 485/77 around Pineville.

 

If you work one clinic a day or two and don't have to commute from one to another during the day, it'll be so much better for you. Could easily spend anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour just getting from one to another.

Thanks. I'll change clinics about once every couple weeks. I have been looking in the Pineville area as well. Craigslist is sketchy as always, but I have been checking there along with other rental areas. Just haven't found the "one" yet.

For where you're working, Dilworth, south end, Carmel/ Johnson road and South Park areas are where you want to be. But, you hit the nail on the head and the areas you are looking at are the best areas without going into North Charlotte. Most of east Charlotte I don't like personally; it's too spotty and hipster crowds annoy me.

With that budget, you can easily find a nice apartment, condo or house.

From Dilworth all the way to Pineville to Blakney,Ballantyne, Marvin and Waxhaw over to Weddington, Providence road and as far south east to Mint Hill are all good areas along with everything in between going up into the city from south Charlotte.

I wouldn't go past Matthews going further in from Mint hill and wouldn't go west of South Blvd and the 51/485 exit although around south, South tryon isn't bad near Lake Wylie and Pineville isn't bad either as long as it's not north of south blvd/51 crossing, that's a confusing area south blvd/Polk is real nice until you hit the area where Polk turns into south blvd, then it gets bad. On providence road you can go from Audrey Kell all the way up until around read road extension/Randolph/Sardis and be fine and even a bit further.

Huntersville is very nice and it's out away from most of the traffic congestion. Straight shot about 15 miles down I-77 to downtown CLT. And I-77 isn't that bad even during rush hour, I-85 & I-485 are the ones you wanna avoid.

 

77 isn't bad during rush hour? Is there another I-77 I'm not aware of? Granted, 85 is no picnic, either. I'm lucky enough to avoid both for the most part on my commute.

 

I live in Plaza-Midwood. For my money, it's the best neighborhood for a single twentysomething, but NoDa and Southend definitely have their perks as well. PM is also pet friendly, and a budget of $850/mo is reasonable for the neighborhood, but several places do start $900 and up.

Have you actually driven on I77 during rush hour?  It is pretty bad.

 

Horrible heading north on I77 in the evening....gridlock between 485 and Exit 23/25.

I ended up getting a one bedroom apartment in Plaza Midwood with my pet for under $700. I love it here (both Charlotte and PM); I think I made the correct choice. I started work this week and have had no traffic issues at all since I'm going against traffic most of the time. Thanks for all of the help! Now I just need to find time to get off work to go to a game!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
