Relocation to Charlotte

I have read a lot of reviews on Charlotte, on different sites including this site. I have family in Charlotte just not too familiar with them but most of the reviews I read are good generally. I realized that everybody has their own opinion. My husband and I have two children we are looking to move where the over all quality of life is better, more opportunities, more shopping places, more jobs, more family fun places, and entertainment. We feel Charlotte would be a good place for us to raise our children. We live in Harrisburg, Pa and if you know about this place you would know how HORRIBLE it is here. Its a dead end city, no places to shop, nothing fun to do. Its not a place you can thrive in and become successful and grow. Any place we move would be a major come up! My husband and I are both educated people; he has a degress in computer science and I have a degree in psychology and currently in school now for my masters but the jobs here are not plentiful and they do not pay much at all. Cost of living here is more expensive and not worth the money as far as housing go.
My questions are to the people who are from charlotte or lives there. How would you rate Charlotte overall. What kind of city is it to you? Are there a lot of things to do with family and friends? Are there a lot of nice neighborhoods that are affordable? Are there a lot of black professionals? Are people generally nice?
Thanks for who ever gives an answer. We plan on moving very soon nxt year.
