Article quote "Our New South City is a place where you can dance to the latest remixes from the New York clubs but you can't find Johnny Cash on the radio"
You old South residents better never let it get to the point the reporter says it is. I personally moved here because you held alot of good values and traditions that I wanted my family to have

I was at a farmers market stand and and old gal asked me "how do you like it down here"
I told her I'd love it even more if folks would quit calling me yankee..
She said "Well, where are ya from?"
"Virginia" I said...
And she said "Well, you ain't no yankee, you're what we like to call a Northern Rebel."

Wow, the landscape of Charlotte is REALLY changing. I find alot of this information very promising for the future of our city. We just need to be a little more proactive in regards to getting the infrastructure in place to handle this awesome growth.

There's that amazing attitude that so endears you New Yorkers to us, NOT!
I would like to know why the fact of having dance clubs is such a big issue?
By the way, yes I am from NY, but I moved to Charlotte when I was 6. I grew up here. One thing I would love to know, why do so many people think Southerners are born with halo's around their heads? Sorry, but I am going to express how I feel and not put on some fake smile. Not my fault you can't grow some kahunas and can't handle it...
I see nothing wrong with diversity - there are dance clubs (oh NO! Forbidden! Especially if they play "NY dance music" whatever that is!), bagel stores, and deli's but there are also plenty of BBQ restaurants and 700 churches here still! It is changing but at the same time it is still retaining what it always had in the first place. People move here and think this is a small, charming southern town but it isn't. It is a city (a fast-growing city at that which means it is always changing) and a city is a mix of different people. If you want Old South, I wouldn't recommend moving here.
What is the difference between bless your heart and **** you? Absolutely nothing.
So you are a southerner then
