Hmmm... Northern or other transplants don't like Charlotte? I'm actually surprised because they've been moving here in droves for the past 15 years. I certainly haven't seen a decrease in that. Perhaps the reason folks are having trouble "accepting" transplants is because many transplants bash what we value (i.e. church, simplicity, quality of life instead of running all the time, quiet living instead of noise, etc.). Many transplants lord over us their vast amount of "knowledge", while assuming the natives are all idiots or less than. Maybe we don't WANT to be like the big cities or emulate the northern or progressive cultures - where folks also create taxation and big government to take care of their problems because they can't seem to handle them on their own. So many are fleeing the states with high taxes and high cost of living that they have, in fact, created with their own world views. It's really beyond me why they don't understand that their ideas created the problem from which they are fleeing. Yes, if that's what the transplants are looking for, then perhaps Charlotte is not for you. If, however, folks want to come and chill with us here in NC and leave the ridiculous ideas of big government, the elitist attitudes and constant chatter just to be talking, then come pull up a rocking chair, grab a glass of sweet tea and be still. We'll welcome you with open arms.
