Review of Charlotte, North Carolina


Don't Do It
Star Rating - 11/19/2012
I lived in Charlotte from 1993 to 2002. I was miserable the entire time. While it was a definite upgrade from the small city in Georgia that I came from, there was were things to be desired. "Boring" is the only word I can think of. I relocated to DC in 2002, and I can go in on that, but Charlotte is a misery. It prepared me for the aloofness of the "north." The people are cliquish - concerned about what church or association you belong to. I don't understand the ego because there's nothing going on there. No real culture. No real style. The woman are homely. I was convinced the men were crazy. A lot of pinned up frustration. Not a good place to be single. It will suck the life out of you. Charlotte has changed over the last ten years I have been away (escaped). I drive through and I'm amazed, but I keep moving. The school system is horrible. It is one of my biggest regrets in life - subjecting my son to it. Don't do it.
