Why *some* Northerners are ruining the Southern way of life in Charlotte (Nashville: relocating)

[LKNArea]

You do not hear us as we whisper in there ear "when we get home your going to get the switch from the yard and I going to whoop you with it" So we let the kids run rampant through the store so we can nail them twice as hard.

I am sure that 100% of southerners are the one's with the kids running around and all the "Northern" kids are being yelled at while they sit still....

Give me a break!

I say, the more transplants the better. My old boss is an upstate NY native who moved here for a better life/employment and eventually convinced 2 other family members and their family to move to the charlotte area as well. They are nothing but good people...

OH THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR HELPING US! We were all rolling around on hog farms in our overalls before you came Sekurit! THANK YOU FOR SAVING US FROM OURSELVES!!

Um, no.

Naw, they just moved back south because they couldn't handle the cold, as my fiance's father did. Don't blame him at all.

Um, no.

I'm 26 and have lived in NC all of my life except for spending the summers in SoCal with my family. I now live in SC just over the state line. You Fail...

Yes, and your age is showing. If you are actually advocating people coming here to save you from your own "redneck image" as someone from NC then I feel sorry for you and your apparent self-hatred.

In the words of mayor Quimby from the Simpsons "Just look what happened to Hitler City North Carolina. If they hadn't changed their name to Charlotte, they'd be sunk."

That was a good episode groove! Wonder if it's on youtube....

They just showed it Friday night on Fox, the rerun at 11pm which is why I thought of it.

In my honest opinion, we were better off with a "redneck" image. Then again, you'd have to understand the correct definition of a "redneck" to understand that.
