Driving home down Garner rd yesterday and it hit me. I've got 2 diners in walking distance. Toot- n-tell and Angies Place. If diners makes a place desirable then I must be in the swanky part of town.lol I have noticed however that many of the establishments that fit the diner description have limited hours. Usually only open for breakfast and lunch. The chains seem to dominate the 24 hour restaurants.

I thought so too! Pleasantly surprised

OP - Thank you for this thread. Been in PGH (currently Carnegie) since '01, and looking for a change (I really do not want to spend another winter here). Triangle and Charlotte are on the short list.

This is a 7 year old thread so if you have questions, you might want to open a new one specific to your situation.

Welcome to the forum. Former Greentree resident here. Born and raised there. My grandparents lived over in Crafton.

We looked at Asheville, Charlotte, Winston-Salem, and Raleigh before choosing and moving to Raleigh in 2006. We liked Asheville the best, but it did not have the tech job opportunities that I required, so we chose Raleigh. Charlotte just doesn't seem to have the diverse "personality" that the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area has, IMO

Angie's is one of the best restaurants in the county. Absolutely love that place for southern cooking. She does a great job in the community also.

This area was nice all around 20 years ago. Not anymore. Too many folks now and all the headaches that came with the growth. Imo
