Many Southerners will be hored first and the pay is great at $80-100,000 a year and , great 401k that yields a person up to $200,000 in 6 years, and a new car at cost , and a service repair shop for employees whil they work ; want a new engine or transaxle for your old car "no problem" the labor is free and the engine is at cost nothing more . Employees and immediate family though. Thats Honda and Toyota benefit .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29766289.post-1168182502640521172007-01-07T10:08:00.000-05:002007-01-07T10:08:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29766289.post-1168093657027832202007-01-06T09:27:00.000-05:002007-01-06T09:27:00.000-05:00Ballantyne is segregated by mostly People from oth...Ballantyne is segregated by mostly People from other States; In fact , thats why Ballantyne was built for outsiders not rooted residents. Most of the houses in Ballantyne are paid off from skyrocketing real estate in the North and bought their land paid in full in Charlotte. I do believe when Charlotte finishes their ,22 year under taking of an outerbelt, People will see more Northern segregated neighborhoodsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29766289.post-1168093416200868502007-01-06T09:23:00.000-05:002007-01-06T09:23:00.000-05:00I do believe Neighborhoods should be segregated by...I do believe Neighborhoods should be segregated by Northern neighborhood and Southern Neighborhood , that way the Schools would be a mostly Northern based school or a Southern based school; this would lower the shock and impact on People coming here from other States; Every State has its own dominate culture and Religion and they really dont mix that well. It takes years maybe generation for People to acclamate to an area. Well the DUKE Family who was in tobacco and energy they have roots from NE YORK and are Jewish backround.Yes, Mary P. Duke with her Southern accent is of Jewish Heritage. So, many that are here are from somewhere else than N.C.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29766289.post-1168013512262001712007-01-05T11:11:00.000-05:002007-01-05T11:11:00.000-05:00Your post made me remeber what my then 9 yr old so...Your post made me remeber what my then 9 yr old son said after the first day of school in Texas after moving from Oregon...<BR/>"Mom, I have to call my teacher Maam - every time!" <BR/>And of course there was the realization that the plural of y'all was all y'all. <BR/><BR/>The move from Texas to Charlotte this summer was not nearly so culturally jarring. My son who is now 15 could have been a real stinker about the move but he has been great. I think the quick immersion into high school life and extracurricular activities was the key.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
