Greensboro is a wasteland

So, thinking about moving to Greensboro? Don't. I moved here for work a year and a half ago and it's probably the worst decision I've ever made.
You'd be perfectly happy here if you grew up here, went to school nearby, and decided that Greensboro is awesome and I'm gonna live here forever! IE you have no frame of reference for the mediocrity at best that this 'city' has to offer. You'd be perfectly content going to the same trashy bars in strip malls, you'd love the fact that everyone dresses the same and goes to the same 2-3 churches and parrots the same opinions. You'd think it was awesome to try different networking events only to see the same damn people over and over and over. By all means, if you're very Southern and like to surround yourself with the same simple minded stereotypical Southern people, this is your town.
I could write a novel but I'll leave it at that. If you like diversity of opportunity in every aspect of your life, don't move here. If you do, prepare to have to compromise and lower your standards in every part of your life.
Greensboro is unbearable. I'm thrilled to be joining the statistic of young professionals running away screaming!
