On Friday, we'll be checking out brand new houses in Huntersville and Waxhaw so they can all move down. Of course, we'll make sure the developers clear-cut the entire acre so the region's air quality will be sure to get worse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29766289.post-22751756429363885452007-11-13T11:52:00.000-05:002007-11-13T11:52:00.000-05:00^ What terrorist group in their right mind would r...^ What terrorist group in their right mind would recruit people who can't pass a criminal background check?

Thankfully with the influx of Northerners concentrated mainly to the uptown and inner neighborhoods we don't have to deal with ^^ all to often.<BR/><BR/>Back in '88 there were ZERO NY pizza palors and only ONE bagel shop in the entire city.<BR/><BR/>Welcome to Charlotte, glad you came, keep on bringing the good pizza, bagels and restaurants.<BR/><BR/>And you DO MATTER in the way the vote turned out. I read that we average 70,000 new residents a year now. Most from the North, the most from NY. So don't let anyone go around saying your vote didn't count. Most up north actually vote. I know many, many coworker here in Charlotte that don't, never have and never will.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29766289.post-86981898333720482992007-11-09T11:19:00.000-05:002007-11-09T11:19:00.000-05:00Lots of us live uptown or close to the central bus...Lots of us live uptown or close to the central business district, as many of us are used to the conveniences of urban living. We've already experienced many of the problems that come from poor planning and want to see our new home on track.

Moving here from New York, I know the impact that mass transit can make. We're finally helping to put Charlotte on the map. This will certainly add character and name recognition to a city that, just a few years ago would be confused with Charleston if you asked anyone else from up North. I also think the large contingent of transplants living in the center city brought out the vote. It's gonna be awesome to simply walk out the door, catch the train, and go shopping and dining at all the great places in South Charlotte.<BR/><BR/>As far as Thanksgiving, we're staying here in our new home.
