I totally agree with you Ms. Stacy that we should defintiely build a strong network and that will make all of our moves to Charlotte easier. I am praying that I can be in Charlotte by October 2008. I plan on looking for a job starting in May and once I have an offer my house here will go on the market. Private messages can be used to communicate with people in this web thread as well as posting general messages.

I wish you well in your relocation plans and keep in touch. I will more than likely post some info on this thread after I return from my first visit to Charlotte in March.

Hi everyone,
I am planning on moving to Charlotte from Wilson, NC in late February, early March and I am so excited! I will pursue my passion which is cake decorating. I am going to get a job in a bakery (I have two interviews this month). I will be living with family until I can find a place. I have a Masters in Business Administration and will use the knowledge and skills to pursue entrepreneurial business ventures. I am looking forward to joining this network and meeting you all.

Default Happy New Year!

Oh my goodness - I haven't logged in for a while and have missed all the awesome updates! I definitely want to join the Charlotte Christmas 2008 Party!! I am an AA 34 year old single female and mother of 1 daughter (11 years old) and I currently live in Tampa, FL. I am so excited about the move and I can't wait to get there. I've been sending my resumes out and have gotten numerous replies - which is a blessing - but I may have posted it too soon. I work in the A/E/C marketing industry and it seems to be booming there. Unfortunatly selling a house in Florida at the moment has proved to be a challenge. I plan to move as soon as I can sell my house. I've listed with BuyOwner but I am just not getting the response I had hoped for. Nevertheless, I am still optimistic and can't wait to meet all of you. Have a blessed day and feel free to private message me! I have researched housing, schools and some activities if anyone is interested. I'll send my info to the e-mail that was supplied previously.

I was finally able to make my first visit to Charlotte last week and I absolutely love it! I can definitely see me living there. I have been corresponding with a wonderful realtor in Charlotte via the internet and she took my cousin and I through Charlotte, Huntersville and Concord and we were able to get a great idea of what life is like in the area. We also saw some lovely homes that were in our price range. We also did some sightseeing downtown in Charlotte's business district, the South Park area, Dillworth and in Huntersville. We covered so much in our 5 days there. I am so excited about moving there. Charlotte was much more than I expected.

I would appreciate any guidance that you can provide.
There are many black professional meet up groups in charlotte. Check there and you will get plenty of feedback on the apt as well as the social scene

Hi everyone,

It has been quite a while since I logged in. I am pride to say that I will officially be a Charlotte resident by the end of the month (June). I can't believe it is here. I am leaving tomorrow to procure a place to live. Remember, you already have one engagement for the holiday.

Teresa
