You might be from Charlotte if you have three cars in your driveway, two of which are up on cinder blocks, and another car in the back yard covered by a tarp.

Looks like your neighbourhood is unique.

You need to get out more. Get away from the exurbs and take a look at ALL of Charlotte, especially the older neighborhoods.

I do get out of the exurbs. I don't live in them. I do like being amongst my own species though. In the land of the privileged, we just don't see this.
Sounds like Indiana to me. I see it there fairly often.

And you're definitely NOT from Charlotte if you've never even seen this in Charlotte (unless, of course, you are a shut-in).

Or, you live in a hidden slum that nobody knows about.

You might be a Charlottean if...
You remember cows grazing across from South Park.
You went South Mecklenburg High School when it was out in the country and you went swimming at the Rock Quarry in SC.
Your first job was being an usher at the Coliseum.
Your Mom took you to Ovens Auditorium for musical plays.
You went to the Yellow Rose on Tyvola, La Fiesta on South Blvd.
Everywhere you went out of state, you looked for Lance crackers.
When you got close to home, the music was Carolina beach, oldies, classics like no other...and still is!
