Review of Chapel Hill, North Carolina


Stuck Up educated liberals
Star Rating - 5/5/2009
I lived in Chapel Hill for several months, the good points are the area is very clean, well educated population, safe, and you actually see folks walking to stores, nice jogging/walking trail; Folks here are abit more active,unlike the rest of the Triangle area where people drive everywhere. What I find disturbing is that large influx of northeasterners from NY,NJ,DC,and PA who are bringing in their rude/ unfriendly ways to the area. The triangle area is much like an urban sprawl, lots of traffic, terrible roads, no side walks, hardly no public transportation, overprice and overated homes; every home in this area has vinyl sidding and they all look the same; just like the people who live in NC. This area is great for families with kids, for singles and the young at heart its a pretty boring place to live.

Chapel Hill is nice because it's full of "stuck up educated liberals," not despite them. If it were full of charming, uneducated conservatives it would look like a Wal-Mart. The yin and the yang.
