Review of Charlotte, North Carolina


Based on Personal Perception
Star Rating - 6/14/2021
Six years ago I accepted a transfer to work in Charlotte NC and, now, I can't wait to get out. I believe that opinions regarding the city of Charlotte are based on personal experiences. For me, after living in cities such as : Roma, Milano, London, New Orleans and Manhattan NY, Charlotte is absolutely boring. As a young city it lacks diversity and has no identity, also, it lacks history. It is a very clean city and most parts are safe to walk but, as any other city, it has it's secret agenda's. Of course for those that have lived in small centers Charlotte appears to have all of those elements I don't see when comparing it to my personal experiences. There are other cities that are way more interesting such as: Charleston, Savannah and, of course, New Orleans the eternal party city, rich with culture and where everyone is super laid back and friendly.

I agree, Savannah and New Orleans (I've never been to Charleston, so I don't know about it) have much more history. They are also wonderful cities to get shot in! The crime in those cities is off the charts, and yes, I have lived in and been there recently. People are getting shot on Bourbon St in the daytime, that never used to happen, although crime there has always been very bad. It doesn't matter if you are a tourist or a local in those cities, you are still highly at risk of being a victim of violent crime. Southern charm is of little benefit if you are dead.
