Might move to Charlotte, North Carolina. Baltimore is stalled: high taxes, high utility rates, and no more good investment opportunities for a little guy like me.
My posting here hopes for insight into QOL issues in Charlotte. Can you tell me about... Sushi restaurants in Charlotte; is there a "best one"? Utility delivery in Charlotte (electric, NG); is it expensive and are there plans for it to skyrocket in the future (as it has in Maryland)? Public radio in Charlotte; is there a local NPR affiliate that does local-political coverage or has locally produced programs that deal with issues such as local utility delivery? (I am at this moment listening to my pal Marc Steiner fussing about the BGE rate hike on the local public radio station.) Say I'm looking at Areas 4 and 5 in which to live... Is there another area like these that you'd recommend, and what are some (mature, reasonably-priced) neighborhoods in these areas that you'd recommend? Here in Baltimore we're blessed with bargain stores like Ollie's and Big Lots and DJ Liquidators, as well as The Loading Dock and Wink's for off-price building materials; are there any bargain stores like this (not "Family Dollar") in Charlotte? What about local festivals; any ones I should be aware of to have fun and get to know the city?
Maybe if everyone contributes one spot of info, maybe you know something about Charlotte and someone else knows something else, I could amass a respectable knowledge of Charlotte before I even get there!
And if this thread disappears like all my other threads, like my threads have The Pox or something, then I'll be steamed and quit wasting your time so you all can discuss the new Super Special Collector's Edition of HARRY AND THE HENDERSONS or something while RAISING ARIZONA languishes in non-anamorphic hell; I know that's really important. I'm a little bitter, you see, about my treatment here on HTF sometimes, so please excuse my rant. I just want to be loved.
