I am considering relocating from LI, and while I don't get to go into NYC to take advantage of it all, much of it does spill out onto the Island. What can I expect in the Charlotte area? I have three children under 8. We take advantage whenever we can to go to an outdoor concert, or go to a performing arts theater. There are many art workshops and other things we can do. Just wondering how it really is there...
I have read a lot about the beauty, the sports stuff and friendly people. Looking for some real experiences from people who live or have lived there. And if not in Charlotte are there better places for that anywhere else in NC? Thanks.

Hi there!
I live in Concord/Harrisburg, and while my kids and I don't participate in many art workshops, there is a great magazine that has a calendar which lists all sorts of ideas for kids and their parents. Charlotte Parent magazine is the name..I'd do a google search for it online. Also, there is another board for area mommies that may have other information, however, I don't know if I'm allowed to post links to other websites here...I think you may find more than you think.

I had received a re-lo package from a realtor and in there was information information on arts and culture as well as many other things -
