Those of you who think traffic is so much better than where you came from continue ecouraging more and more folks like yourself to relocate here but doing that will just recreate what you moved here to get away from
I know, right?! Flippin' transplants... what should we do with them?

I'm actually kind of hurt that no one recognized my Waxhaw-to-Uptown post for what it was. Sarcasm! How many times have I posted things about people being irresponsible when they say they can get from Union County (for example) to Uptown in XX (fill in with an impossibly small number) of minutes? C'mon folks! keep up with me!

Try using the little roll eyes emoticon next time - your post seemed serious to me!

Ohmy gosh right back at ya..I only visit there..so I don't contribute to your traffic problems..just the times I have been..what you call traffic is a bit exaggerated...and you guys gotta get over your paranoia that people who relocate to Charlotte are looking to change anything except maybe support the local economy..bring our money..and make your property value go up...I'm just sayin

These people are clueless..they see 2 cars and they are freaking out..bless their souls..

Glad you enjoyed your visit! We loved it too when we first visited over a year ago, and here we are: one year this June since we moved.

We live in Ballantyne and love it here. The areas all around Charlotte have so much to offer.

My plan is to slowly start swaying relatives and friends to move over here (sorry Loves!)
