For all the ppl who said Charlotte… I have lived her for 11 months now… and IT IS AWSOME… Great Night Life, Tons to do in the City…Great Restaurants, Shows, Shopping, Museums… your 2 hours from the Mountains(ASHVILLE)which is Gorgeous!!! Full of beautiful southern girls ( the accent will grow on ya…) Great Sports teams, 2hours from Raleigh… the Panthers suck but the Stadium is nice and tickets are cheap. Nascar is an experience in itself… I was there 2 weeks ago… it is so loud it shakes your eardrums!!!
Charlotte Douglas Airport has cheap flights now that jetblue flys there you can get tickets as cheap at 175 roundtrip… at least that is the best deal i have gotten so far.
Downside… the city is growing so damn fast that the crime down here is terrible… lots of shootings and ppl getting mugged… ie… I even got mugged… …
Overall I love this City, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a job. There are TONS of new and up coming companies in the Area. The suburban sprall is taking over… housing is dirty cheap and most Condos like the one I live in have all the Amenities and they are brand new… They are everywhere you look.
If you move here you wont regret it.
