Winston-Salem, NC
Attractive neighborhoods/lack job opp. + entertain -
8/2/2017Winston-Salem has one of the most attractive residential neighborhoods in NC. Many streets are a tunnel of tall trees, medians on major roadways like sailas prkwy have a landscape of crape myrtles and planted annuals which all bloosem in summer months. The downtown has recently been revitalized without loosing any of its historical character which makes Winston-Salem what it is. It is a medium sized city with a low crime rate and a small town type of vibe. It's a great place to live, grow up in, raise a family, and retire too. Sadly it's not a good place for a near 40 year old single bachelor who is going through a transition from one career into another. I work independently, as an uber/Lyft driver where I have had a horrible experience maintaining a steady cash flow due to a lack of ridership. Winston-Salem is also not an industrial city as it once was, thus most of the job market falls within the service sectors like retail, health care etc. Most work establishments pay below the national average thus not serving my economic needs.
Indianapolis, IN
A city of opportunities yet potential for social i -
8/23/2015I've lived in indianapolis for close to a year and a half. I personally have had mixed (good and bad) experience during my stay. The pros: they're abundant of job opportunities backed by a strong economic growth in conjunction with a lower than average cost of living thus it's easy to get up on your own. As far as housing as concerned, people get a lot for what they pay for.. the downtown area has a lot going on like great shops,restaurants, bike trails that are extensive from downtown on, plus the downtown area is very clean and the buildingstate have the finest, modern and sophisticated arcutecture. In the residential areas everyone has a front and back yard with a canopy of tall mature trees in most areas. The cons: many of the people here suck. I find many to be rude, standoff ish and just plan dumb in the ghetto areas. It's best to meet quality ppl from college and or a church and keep your social circle small. The crime rate is insane with at least two murders daily and for the stupidest reasons. Property crime is at a level thats unheard-of, I've have a few neighbors who have had their doors kicked since the past year and had items removed from their apartment. If you're young and starting off like myself, I would recommend indianapolis but with coution. Involved yourself with an educated crowd and trust only a few and you're be fine
