Okay, ninety percent of the city is gorgeous: Big trees, brand new shiny skyscrapers, manicured lawns, massive suburban houses... But that's what's on the surface. When you get down to it, the place lacks a soul or any real sense of identity. With the exception of a few very good, kind, genuine souls whom I've gotten to know here the ...

Nice but lacks character-
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/03/07
Charlotte is a decent place to live in if you want to raise a family and don't care about cultural attactions. It is also a good place to make big $$$ compared to the cost of living if you are a banker or lawyer. But there is nothing unique about Charlotte. It is arguably the most generic city in America. No buildings of historic ...
Litter everywhere! Where's the pride in Charlotte? It seems no one cares to clean up along the roadways. This task is not for the Adopt a Highway participates, it's a task for the city/county government. Where's law-enforcement? What an embarrassment!

WORSE PLACE I EVER LIVED
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/23/06
Charlotte is a very high crime city with no safe area. The police do not even come when you report a crime such as a stolen car or car break in. I had to call 911 6 times before they even answered the phone. The mayor's vehicle was stolen from his home driveway. This is a very anti-consumer area where you are lied to by apartment rental ...

What a Pleasent Surprise!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/18/06
Absolutely a new mecca is brewing in CHarlotte, NC. Fabulous financial district with plenty of window shopping and friendly faces. Ploice on every corner in downtown where extremely friendly and helpful. Walked from hotel to Bobcat Stadium for Clapton Concert and felt totally safe in dead of night on our return. I predict if this town wanted to attract tourism more with a few attractions this could be a heck of a spot to travel. WAY TO GO.
Boring, dull, boring, dull, boring, dull, boring, dull... did I mention boring?
If you're from Idaho, you'll love it in Charlotte, otherwise you will quickly realize it's not much more than a squat little town that is as mentioned, boring.

Great city
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/11/06
I dont know what people are talking about when they rag on Charlotte. This city is awesome. I moved here a year ago from Jersey. It is one of the fastest growing places in the country my neighbors are from LA, Philly, Houston, and Chicago and a traditional Italian Restaurant is opening up within walking distance from my house. The owners are ...

no historic, ton of hot women
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/07/06
I have visited my friends in Charoltte. It was nice in the daytime just wondering around the streets. There are still some southern war friendly people in the town. Until we went to uptown (downtown area), the girls were very annoying. They dressed up, but they are lack of manners. They talked extremely loud in the restaurant and think they are ...

was a great city at one time
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/20/06
I've lived in Charlotte all my life. My father was a pilot for Piedmont Airlines and then with USAir. Charlotte is a city that has changed drastically in the past few years. Its really rare to hear a SOUTHERN accent around the city. The city has been invaded by northerners and has lost the charm that it once had. Those who move here from ...
