City/town with LOTS of trees and some hills? (Greensboro: neighborhoods, place to live)

[TiredOfSFL]

Sounds like those trips didn't include Texas... Although I crossed it many, many years ago since the flatness can't change I can safely say it's way worse. Imagine endless miles of seeing nothing but sand, tumbleweeds, and billboards...

Bleagh. You're right. I'd much rather see a palm tree and a pelican from time to time, even in total flatness. LOL!!

Winston-Salem is a great city for hill lovers. Moreover, you have the foothills on the horizon to the west.

Thanks but could you please elaborate on why? Meanwhile I'll check that website anyway!

Somehow you just made that sound romantic... sigh!

As for which city IS bigger, versus which FEELS bigger....

Greensboro may have the larger pop. But WS has more "big buildings" downtown. WS also has more of the traffic that I left FL in order to avoid. You hardly ever experience stop-and-go traffic in Greensboro even during the "rush hours" around 8 in the morning and 5 in the afternoon. Some roads will be slightly more congested than normal, but that's it. My coworkers here in Greensboro had to go to the WS office to work last week, and they said there were at least 2 different places for each of them where there was stop-and-go traffic. I'm sure it wasn't as bad as Tampa, FL, but my point is that WS has the "bigger city" feel in terms of traffic when compared to Greensboro.

Hope that fills in at least one piece of the puzzle for you! The two cities are rather similar in size, so it's hard to judge which one really feels bigger. I'd suggest visiting both.

Thank you for posting absentchaos, that's the type of detail that can make all the difference in tipping the scale in favor of one or the other!

I second that, those kinds of descriptions are only second best to actually being there. WELL done! I think absentchaos should be a columnist or contributor for the Triad Living magazine!
