I think the OP should primarily be looking at Winston-Salem too, but this characterization of Greensboro as NC's version of Detroit is WAY off.
No one has likened it to Detroit as best as I can tell? Detroit gets it's own special place atop the list of "awful for many reasons" cities. Still doesn't mean GBoro can't suck on it's own. haha
I say go for Winston. I love, love Charlotte. But... The drive isn't worth it. At all. Especially if you live in Concord. Towns like Concord are a dime a dozen in Charlotte, Winston, Greensboro & Raleigh. Winston is more like Charlotte than Concord is like Charlotte. I say pick Winston. Come visit us whenever for our Thanksgiving parade, Carowinds, whitewater, etc.

Notice I said "Detroit of NC;" it was a bit of hyperbole to characterize how some were describing Greensboro. It's a bit unwarranted in my opinion.
