Close to Perfection - 1/7/2013
I have lived in Harrisburg, NC since 2002. I moved here from a suburb of Detroit. I wanted to live in an area that was close to Charlotte, but still had a small town feel. This is it! There has been a bit of growth since I moved here. This used to be a little bit more or a rural area. Now we have a growing town center and neighborhoods have been built. My neighborhood: some of the houses are on almost an acre of land, there is a small lake and lots of trees. People are friendly and you run into people you know in the grocery store, etc. The weather cannot be beat. We get the change of seasons, but not a bitter winter. We get about 1 snow a year and it melts the next day (LOVE). The locals will complain about the humidity in the summer, but they are not familiar with what humidity is all about. It is a bit humid, but it is perfect: your skin doesn't dry out the minute you walk out the door, like it does in Vegas or California.
The little town has a facebook page that is called:

Harrisburg is Not For US. - 4/23/2006
We moved here from FLA 3 yrs ago. And it has been a huge culture shock to say the least. We have been miserable and have not felt comfortable here at all. It is an incredibly gorgeous state, weather is nice but the religious sect is unreal. Feel like we live in the twilight zone. There is very little to do here for families and teens. Teens have really zero to do here. Public transportation is nonexsistant in this area. And the beauty is being destroyed due to homes being built everywhere you look. We are saving to escape as soon as possible! Charlotte is no better nor is
