Best Place To Live In The USA

[Partial]

Evidentally Naperville, Ill is the 2nd best place to live in the country. Anyone have any comments on that?

Wouldn't that be considered 'enemy territory'?

It sure would. I read it in Money Magazine I believe it was yesterday.

Charlotte works. I wouldn't be able to handle the twang in Nashville (sorry, LW)

twang? What do you mean?

I have friends that live in Nashville and I visit as often as possible. It's one of the best cities I've ever been to for live music. ALL kinds of music. I cannot stand They also boast the Nashville Packer Backers Club who are some of the ficountry, which is what alot of people stereotype this city as.nest group that I've ever partied with!

the same problem when people sterotype country music as TWANG, and drunk mommas and dogs dieing. if you listen to the words you will find that country music is about real life.

and now to a great place to live. I'd like the other side of the lake. rual life and nowhere near as cold, but much more snow, sandy beaches (no turds washing up on shore) calm water, no break waters on the other side. great place to raise a fam.

Yeah, Charlotte, NC is a great city. Over the last 10 years or so it has undergone a whole transformation. The downtown is very modern and you're only two hours away from the Smokey Mountains, which are a beautiful mountain range. You're also only about an hour from Lake Wiley, which is a great recreational family place. We almost moved there, but my Dad got the job in Richmond, so we're moving to Virginia.

Charlotte still a great city?

My lease expires in June, and I'm pondering whether or not to migrate to the Charlotte area. Unfortunately, I won't have a job waiting for me there, which means I would have to stay at the parent's til I find "gainful" employment (parents currently live in NC), which would make me just as miserable as I am currently here in cold, dark and dull Wisconsin.

I don't know anyone in Charlotte, and I don't know anything about the city, other than that it has a nice disc golf scene and a cocky African-American QB. Where the heck is Michele (one L) when you need her?

Wait, I thought you were a professional burger-flipper. Plenty of opportunities in NC for that!

Well, I hold duel degrees in accounting and economics, have passed the Wisconsin CPA exams. But I'm not a CPA cos I'm currently underemployed as a burger flipper (for the minimum-wage), so I lack the work experience to call myself a CPA. Much thanks to capitalism.

Should've majored in English. I fucked up. Wish I had a time-machine.

So does anyone have any current updates about Charlotte? Still a great city?

I'm torn between staying with the misery up here and facing the uncertainty down there. If I had gainful employment a-waiting down there, a no brainier, not that I'm gainfully employed up here. I'm worried about the grass not being greener down there. Plus, absence gainful employment = no DirecTV = Bars to catch Pack games, which I detest.

I love Charlotte, I go down there once every year or so. The overall politics in North Carolina are a bit backwards, but Charlotte is not. Huge banking community, and nicer than Atlanta.

Thanks, Nutz. Your post gives me hope.

Don't wanna be up here any longer. Don't wanna move back in with the folks down there for who knows how long. The Charlotte area is supposedly a hot spot for disc golf, so I should have no problems making new friends. But a grown man moving back in with his folks? That's depressing as fuck.

I feel trapped. Would go see a shrink but my current health insurance sucks.

To be, or not to be? That is the question—
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And, by opposing, end them?

You should move to San Francisco... keep you lefties bottled up in one area where you do less damage.

Tank it seems like a pretty 'Funky Place to me' . My advice if you head on down there. Be really cooland pass yourself off as 'a Canuck' and you'll be busy.

How best to do that: Use the term Eh a lot.

Never drink Bourbon because your 'a Stella Artois' Guy.

“The dating scene is unpromising at best. The hook-up scene on the other hand is an A+++.”

“Charlotte is weird for dating. It’s like there are too many women so it’s ultra competitive or maybe guys just don’t want to settle down.”

“If you’re in the scene for fun then you’re in the right place but if you’re looking for a meaningful relationship you’ve got your work cut out for you. Charlotte has become very superficial and everybody is waiting for something better to come along than focusing on what they have in front of them. I am just as guilty in this, but it is a product of the environment we are in.”

“If I meet one more guy who works in finance and whose primary hobby is drinking I will lose my mind.”

“I dated most everyone who had both a face and a job on Tinder. I loved it. I met my boyfriend of two years on that app. I think the dating scene is exceptional despite what all my friends would tell you. It’s all about taking chances. Bonus: Men are typically not photogenic so you’re usually in for a pleasant surprise when you meet them.

“I’m really not into the bro’d out, preppy, Vineyard Vines type. Blech.”

NO. 1 in a 2018 Study:



The Music City, Austin, Texas.

I live 65 miles north of Austin, and I'm here to tell ya, it's about the worst place to live in a perfectly wonderful state. A lot of the reason has to do with things that would need to be discussed in FYI.

[call_me_ishmael]

Everyone universally loves Austin but I hear the traffic is miserable since the city has outgrown the infrastructure.
