Where would you rather live--Greensboro or Charlotte?

Nothing wrong with Greensboro. If you plan on staying in the same place for some time I would say Greensboro but if you don't plan on living there permanently then Charlotte.

Of course, you should live "just" outside of Greensboro if you decide on Greensboro; no need to live in the inner-city.

i've lived in grensboro, charlotte and boone. i've visited wilmington extensively but have no idea of the job market. to me it seems like greensboro with a beach. charlotte is nice but i would never live there again. after a year there i have exactly two fond memories of the place and only one has anything to do with charlotte being a good place to live. for my money i'll take boone any day of the week but if you're actually going to try to work for a living it's probably not your best bet unless you're going to teach or do some kind of construction work. greensboro is where i'm from and i'll always love it to some extent but unless i was young and wanting to party then i would never live in greensboro proper. southern rockingham county is very nice while still being close enough to greensboro proper that you don't have to actually deal with as much craziness.

I do it as much as anyone (the fact that it would take a million dollar/year salary to get me to live in W-S) but the all out hate between G'boro and W-S is actually kind of funny.

I think of W-S as the used up husk of a town that was left when the tobacco empires fell. The only thing left is the very rich and the very poor. What middle class there is left is trying to make W-S viable but its a losing battle.

The only thing in W-S that worth going there for is Foothills brewery and Toms Guitars.

Of course that's just my opinion, I could be wrong...

Don't know about Tom's, but I hate foothills. Awful food, poor service, and over crowded. Johnny and Junes is much more fun.

Regarding Greensboro or Charlotte, really there isn't much difference between the two. Charlotte is a little bit larger with more places to get drunk, Greensboro is cheaper with fewer places to get drunk. But sometimes quality is more important than quantity.
