Review of Greensboro, North Carolina


Greensboring is right
Star Rating - 1/25/2007
While the state of North Carolina is beautiful I have little to say about Greensboro and many of the locals. First the city can't see that growth can be a good thing. The city officials and many people who have lived here their whole life are completely opposed to change and see it as the root of all evil. The region has suffered greatly due to the tobacco, textile and furniture industries abandoning the area and now they are only looking to bring more blue collar, low paying jobs back into the area. There is no diversity in the job force and chances of finding a decent job here are very slim. And to those who think the Southern charm is so cute and quaint-stay a little longer and you'll really realize it's snobbery at it's best. People love to talk here, but rarely listen...

With the introduction of a major Fed-Ex hub and increasing number of financial and high tech companies moving into the Greensboro area, how can you claim that they are resistant to change or only interested in bringing in blue collar jobs. While it is true that people who have been in an area for a long time might be concerned with growth, this does not seem to be the case in Greensboro. For proof of that, drive around anywhere near the airport or view all of the new construction on Google Earth. I currently live in the northeast and can tell you that the "snobbery" of which you speak certainly beats the callousness and outright rudeness that is so pervasive up here.
