Review of Charlotte, North Carolina


Charlotte...Not the place for good Yankees!
Star Rating - 10/4/2008
I have to say...I have lived here for a few months and can't wait to leave. It is Clicky here and almost impossible to get a return call for a decent Job. I am from NY and never jugded anyone in my life and yet I am on the recieving end of consistantly being judged for looking different. I am a 6 foot 2 body builder type who never had trouble finding friends or dates in Fla or NY and here I feel like a lepper..NO joke..Nyers unless you have a signed agreement for employment think about moving here...I have had numerous "so called jobs" that change their mind about the pay scale or the agreement...and I have 20 years experience in My profession.

Hello, I'm curious are you still living here? Your right my town yes I'm a Charlottean hasn't evolved much or should I say it has evolved in the wrong direction. In the military I didn't have problems making friends. I'm glad I only got out and came home to go to school. I'm ready to go back in quick for another chapter and new adventure in my life. Oh and feel free to judge people from here and then tell them why they haven’t grown as a person. I can’t seem to get on board with this new mentality. I don’t understand the backward ways that have come up here just because people want to live in what they consider a big city, but not change much else except what they change makes it so that it doesn’t line up with anything. I can imagine you being puzzled as a single female I don’t see anything around here to hold me except family and that’s just not gonna happen. It’s time for me to go yet again.
