Huh? If I recall correctly, I-77 through York County was widened and resurfaced a couple of years before I-77 in Mecklenburg County got resurfaced. I hated when I lived in Rock Hill to go from smooth sailing to small potholes every couple of miles once I crossed the state line.
It was a joke. I find it hard to take this whole thread seriously.

I just don't get this insistance, from people who are presumably from ATL, that CLT has some burning desire or need to be more like Atlanta. I really don't understand. I live in CLT because I LIKE CLT. I visit other places because I like them as well, but THIS IS WHERE I CHOOSE TO LIVE.
If I wanted to live in ATL, I would. I like Charlotte and have no desire to "change" CLT to be more like anywhere else.
@MIKEANDIKE -- I really don't care where the 20somethings go on the weekends. If they want to go to ATL, that's cool with me. I'm going to see the Smashing Pumpkins at the Fillmore, and Michael Buble at the TWC Arena and I don't have to spend 3+ hrs in the car to do it.
It doesnt need to be Like Atlanta, Charlotte needs to be Charlotte with more to do thats all....
Anyone from Charlotte who does aspire to become Atlanta really has 0 ambitions for this city, in my opinion.
Atlanta is nothing special. Miami, New Orleans, San Antonio and Washington DC are the most interesting cities in this region. They're amazing place to go on vacation.
Does anyone wanna interrpret this date for me:
black & white people make up 95% of Atlanta...
Black & White people make up 94% of Charlotte...
Foriegn born people in Atlanta is 5.4%
Foriegn born people in Charlotte is 13.1%
State Born people in Atlanta is 62%
State born people in Charlotte is 48.6%
The only problem with the state born stats is that many Charlotteans were born in SC. IMO, SC natives are not considered "out of state" born.
Yeah, but last time I checked, Charlotte wasn't IN South Carolina. Might be no more than 10-15 minutes away in physical location, but if you're from South Carolina, then you're not from North Carolina.
And I thank God every day I wasn't born in South Carolina. :P
I live in Atl and do not like it here at all, been here to long 12/03. When my lease is up in April i'm thinking about relocating to Charlotte because it less people. Is their something wrong with Charlotte before i come that way?

If you want to stay on the east coast and not go further to the west, I would think Charlotte would be a good choice. Would need to know what you are looking for in particular, or what you don't like about where you are now - to really give you good advice. Just keep reading posts and use the search feature - you can find out a tremendous amount of info just sifting through pages on this site.

Interesting stats. Wow!! Atlanta's poverty rate is over 20%!!!!!!!!!! The Atlanta population number looks odd though. I'm trying to figure out what municipality they're talking about that has a population of 865K???
