Love Charlotte

I have lived in Charlotte since 1994 and have seen this city grow quickly. The climate is great. The winters are mild, but we do have a winter. Spring and Fall are just beautiful. Summer can get hot, but I'm a southerner so it's something I'm used to.
One of the things I love about Charlotte is the quality of restaurants. Yes, we have your typical chain restaurants here, but some of the locally owned and run restaurants are world class.
You are a couple of hours from the mountains and a couple of hours from the beach. There are 2 large lakes to go boating on and with the Panthers and the Bobcats uptown you can make a day or evening of tailgating and cheering on the teams.
The city has become so diverse with the growth of the banks and Chiquita moving its headquarters here. tennis, LaCrosse, golf, football, soccer and baseball can be found all over Charlotte. The YMCA system here is excellent and has every type of activity for kids.
Plenty of public parks in the city and events everywhere.
If you are a runner there is a 5K a couple of times a month somewhere in the city.
If you are considering moving I highly recommend Charlotte. It is a very livable city.
