Right.<br /><br />I wholeheartedly disagree with the assertion that because Charlotte has conservative leanings, it lacks any sort of "things to do". During my visits here while I was single, I was impressed that there were plenty of things to do here: the Whitewater Center, NFL team, NBA team, great places to eat, impressive places to shop, beautiful parks, fun lakes for boating or chilling out, Carowinds, etc. Now that I'm married and living here for the past 5 years, I find many great things for families as well.<br /><br />I think it comes down to what you value. If you value spending time in a dilapidated, washed-up coffee bar surrounded by hippies that bathe only once a week while sipping $10.00 soy lattes and eating sustainable algae cakes while listening to some no-talent gypsy strumming on a guitar and singing nothing but curse words...you're right, Charlotte is not the place for you!ICBMMannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569427107470331799.post-18351431662543023202013-02-11T18:03:35.818-05:002013-02-11T18:03:35.818-05:00Charlotte is a very conservative city, with many p...Charlotte is a very conservative city, with many people who have adopted backward ways of thinking. Face it...the city is fickle at best...Definitely caters to married people....not enough to do for singles. Truly lacks diversity. I mean really, when people come to Charlotte what is it for them to do.....Zilch. The city is void of culture and diversity. Where are the plethora of downtown cafes, downtown shopping, all night coffeehouses/ lounges of different genres...Its not here in Charlotte. And it is definitely not the next Austin, TX.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
