Tell me about the Charlotte area

[TechHead87]

Me and my fiance have been thinking about relocating after she finishes her 2nd bachelors in 3 years. We've got 3 possible locations narrowed down...D.C, Charlotte, and Nashville.

Can anyone tell me about Charlotte?

Nashville > Charlotte.

..and I'm from NC. I love the state, honestly, but Charlotte is one of my least-favorite regions. Just very, very...boring, imo.

We're not necessarily looking for "fun", but it'd be a good feature for us.

She's looking to be a school teach, and I work in local TV. Nashville has my heart, but we're both open to suggestions.

How is Charlotte boring?

Never been to Charlotte. Raleigh is nice and booming though...

Where are you currently located? And what activities do you and your fiance enjoy?

compare Charlotte to RTP, which has 3 major Universities and booming high-end tech job market. Closer to the coast, for one thing (unless you prefer the mountains...so Charlotte in that regard), and the type of entertainment and opportunities you'd expect for a region that serves a shit-load of students. It also tends to be high on the list of most desirable places to live in the USA, made it to #1 a few years back.

Sure, I'm biased, but I can't think of any reason to live in Charlotte unless you're in banking or finance. Plus, it's way too fucking close to SC. screw that state. 😛
