Well, I posted here a long time ago about moving to Waxhaw. As a person without a car I hated it there. There was barely anything to do and the town was way too upper-class and it was too expensive to live there.
We moved to Gastonia eventually, and I am happy here. Despite what some may think about this place and it's not exactly the best in the world (I would rather live somewhere in Charlotte, but I live with my sister and have to go wherever her family goes). I love it here, I have a job, there's alot of decent shopping, malls, restaurants, and other places to walk around and look at. I'm not far from my work and I can take the bus if I have to. It's definitely alot easier, and I am still settling in and trying to meet new people.
Hopefully we won't have to move again for a long time.

Welcome to the dreaded "area west of Charlotte".
I remember your other thread.
I live in the ever-unfashionable Kings Mountain. I agree, there's a little bit of just about everything out here.
Welcome to Gastonia!!! Gastonia is not that bad. It has grown alot and still growing and you are not that far from Charlotte. Hope you will be able get your own apt. in Charlotte one day, but for right now just enjoy Gastoina.
I didn't mind living in Gastonia for the 2 yrs I was there! It had all of my basic needs and dining. It was close enough to Charlotte and all the other things I needed with less traffic (at least 10 yrs ago it was less than all the other areas)!
