Thanks for all the advice, guys, I really appreciate it! Where is NoDa BTW? And could you spell it out?
I was a little surprised at some of the flames, but hey....perhaps you do need to read more Hint: the humorous self-denigration in my post is meant to cue you that I don't take myself or my intellect all that seriously.
Thanks again! And if I get a job here, yes I will be asking info about schools etc. being somewhat of a soccer mom and typical suburbanite.
The title of the thread is Places to live in Charlotte if you are a bookworm/educated nerd. It's a pop culture reference. That is a screen shot from the very popular, cult classic, 1984 movie Revenge of the Nerds. (1:10 mark)

Suuplemental is fine if you also make an attempt to answer the OPs question.
Out of interest, what did you think of the picture of whatever it was that was posted. Helpful, appropriate?
I thought it was hilarious, and I bet the OP did too. She even called herself a nerd. Get off SM's back.

Trust me, you won't like NoDa. It is full of young Bohemians (Village types). They are not the intellects although they went to college. Don't think their degrees in sociology qualifies them. They wear dreadlocks, bellbottoms, and have Obama stickers on their 1996 Toyotas. Just kidding, but they are not what you are looking for. I would seriously look at anywhere that the houses look like the owner has a good education and you can't hear gang-bangers firing their Saturday night specials (unregistered handguns). Charlotte is full of neighborhoods with educated people. You definately wouldn't want your kid hanging around NoDa. It is a cool place to go when you are stoned and want to see how the other half lives (somebody told me). You won't find any soccer moms in NoDa. NoDa stands for North Davidson which is a major street in downtown Charlotte. It is really cool to stroll down Davidson from downtown (uptown) to NoDa and see the diverse richness of this fair city.

Hmmm... just got back from hanging with 3 other moms (2 are soccer moms) in NoDa. The kids love to walk around there, get a treat at Smelly Cat and just generally goof around.
And we may have discussed a book or two. And we weren't stoned. Only one of us was wearing Birkenstocks - does that count for or against your stereotype?
NoDa stands for North Davidson; the "heart" of the area is N. Davidson St. & 36th, but it extends further than that, to at least Amelie's French Bakery (great place to meet people!) at 2424 N. Davidson. Galleries, restaurants, book stores, and lots of great people - a very nice diverse area.
You're kidding right? NoDa is crawling with kids. Maybe not so much as Plaza-Midwood, but I see a ton of strollers on 36th street...true there is a rough pocket between 12th and 27th, but the direct area around the heart of NoDa is thoroughly gentrified.
