I am truly embarrassed that you are getting comments from and meeting such rude, jingoistic, bone-headed jerks. They are certainly not typical of the Southerners I know.<BR/><BR/>The good people of the Carolinas, at least the ones in my experience, teach their children courtesy as a requirement, not an option. Most will knock themselves out to make you feel at home and are truly interested in you and delighted to meet you. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, Charlotte has gotten too big, too fast (yes, for the South, it's very fast), and too over-populated with rubes-come-to-town-and-don't-know-how-to-act.<BR/><BR/>Our apologies for those very non-Southern behaviors you Northerners are encountering.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29766289.post-76287140983586069472007-12-28T17:00:00.000-05:002007-12-28T17:00:00.000-05:00Hey buddy, take a yoga class.

DRIVE YOUR CARS!!! Oh and to the guy in the blue caprice with the great spinning rims going 40 on a highway marked 55 somkin a blunt.... I'm blinking my lights at you and beeping because you should not be in the left lane @ 40. If your car can't go faster than that on wet roads because of you big rims and tires get in the left lane or stay home and smoke your blunt.(theres an idea) Don't hold me up or flick me off when I have to speed around you, it's so I don't get slamed into and you're the cause!!!!! If you were in NY you'd get run over. I propose us "northerners" start our own civics class....a honking revolution to get the "southern hospitality" in check. Easy, just move over!!!!!!<BR/>- A logical northernerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29766289.post-74556508551496166772007-12-27T15:44:00.000-05:002007-12-27T15:44:00.000-05:00No Hablo Northern said...

Charlotte is a cheap place to live. One can buy a home and afford to do other things without having to work 2 jobs. <BR/><BR/>Also, people are moving here (and elsewhere) from cities like Buffalo and Pittsburgh because those cities aren't doing very well in terms of holding on to jobs and people.<BR/><BR/>Finally, some are moving here because they want to get away from the city while others are moving here to get a feel for what a bigger city is like.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29766289.post-90290116010525829422007-12-27T14:34:00.000-05:002007-12-27T14:34:00.000-05:00It's migration; one place fills up, the next place...It's migration; one place fills up, the next place receives the overflow.
