oohhhhh yaaaaaaaaaaa
You must be talking about Raleigh Minnesota, because you're damn sure ain't talking about Raleigh NC.
Comparing Raleigh to small ass Gboro is a joke.![]()
The Raleigh Triangle Area, is definetly a better place to live than charlotte. We don't have professional sports, but we have something just as good as the panthers, bobcats, and nascar... We have Collage basketball Carolina, Duke, and NC State. We do have strip clubs where you can get head and whatever else. We have 1000 times the culture than charlotte, a 1m times the culture of Greensboro only fayetteville comes close, and that only because of the Military base.
If you want to go into Banking, fashion, or wanna be a star in the NBA/NFL move to Charlotte, many banks are headquartered there, but there are some in Raleigh. If you have any type of science degree, management degree, or are into real estate. Move to the Raleigh area. If you sell drugs, pimp or can survive unemployed move to greensboro very few jobs in the boro.
Alot of broke ma'fuckas in charlotte too. They definetly have the badder bitches, but most of em (unfortunately) are broke with kids and are dating the same ma'fuckas. The best thing about charlotte to me... Is the close proximity to SC, where they get ass naked in the strip club and you can drink at the same time LEGALLY.
Not to mention, the raleigh triangle area has the most Ph.D's in the country. We have one of the top medical centers, there are jobs galore, is one of the fastest growing areas in America and you can find a women that has some sense and cheddar.
Check out this link http://moving.about.com/od/whymove/a/best_places.htm
The Raleigh area is on 2 lists.
I cant find the link at the moment but greensboro was voted the worst place to live in america, based on employment crime and population.
The dude that called westside stories ghetto and overpriced, please dont hate on my club. We just renovated and changed the name to the Goodlife. Come out for the parties we are having during MEAC this week and hopefully you'll like the changes...
Gott Damn, and my girl wanna move out there because her sister lives there. I don't know about it now. I was looking around to see what people thought about Fayateville, but I keep hearing it's a damn Military town, and I can't fuck Military Niggas(they're too dumb to begin with) tryin' to fuck my girl and not respecting a married woman.
I guess I'll move to Texas then, atleast the white boys will keep away from my black woman, for the most part, LOL
I made the mistake of relocating to Fayetteville with my girl from VA because she got a nice job offer here. Like dude said before there ain't shit to do here but go out to eat and the movies. Ain't nothin here but a bunch of hillbillies and military people.....SugarBares.![]()


......yeah niggaz know about that "private dance"!!!

Raleigh/Durham/Chapel-Hill(research triangle) = College town
duke, nccu, nc state, unc, durham tech... etc. nice clean urban professional business city.... never really felt raleigh tho
Charlotte = Young family, young singles town....like the brother said earlier 90's atl (the traffic and mexican population is fucking ridiculous tho). I'm kinda bias to charlotte, I love it (JUST STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM WEST CHARLOTTE, beatties ford rd. area and CRYSTAL, reggae club ON THE PLAZA and you're good to go fam)
Gboro? who was the poster that said gboro was poppin![]()
gboro, got like 1, maybe two strip clubs thats stay open till 5/6am(unc-gboro, nc a&t and a couple of little clubs out there keeps it from been completely dead)
gboro is like salisbury, dulled---bland---boring and country...
what the fuck am i doin in here
All that shit you named is for white folks
Raleigh is a white person's dream city- Big white colleges, Big white corporations that hire white people, big white shopping malls for white people... and black person's nightmare- no real entertainment unless you like getting shot at, fake ass west coast wanna be gangbangers, fake ass new york accent having club owners, Racists ass police department, no black culture at all, nothing on the black side of town except fast food restuarants.
tell me about it..last time i went in Crabtree and Triangle Town i was likewhat the fuck am i doin in here
![]()
my same opinion...i've been all over NC and from my observations:
more to do in fayetteville and raleigh then charlotte
better looking women in charlotte though
grimier spots in asheville
peace and quiet in morganton, lincolnton, salisbury(found a lot of ethiopian and jamaican women in salisbury)
but overall the "second class citizen" a lot of blacks act like is disturbing down here.
I have lived in Fayetteville, Raleigh, Charlotte, and now I live in Lincolnton. It is more shit to do as far as cultural in Raleigh IMO so I agree. There is more shit poppin in Fayetteville b/c it is a college and military town so more goes down there. Fayetteville you have FSU and Methodist, then you have the surrounding colleges like Pembroke, Central, NC State(Raleigh) Duke(durham/chapel hill) UNC(chapel hill) so as far as partying, it goes down. Charlotte is fun and very "black" in some areas but I have more fun in Fay and Raleigh.
.are you serious??? G-Boro the second livest city in NC next to the QC
The only thing that Greensboro has is Sugarbares and A&T Homecoming.I've been in Charlotte for almost two years now. I'm leaving next week.
Lots of backwards whites and subservient Blacks. Had a co-worker who would actually answer 'yawsuh' when addressed by a supervisor. Lots of 'scary' brothers here. They are always telling me to watch how I talk to these white folks and not to hold my head up. Weird. And these are IT professionals.I met lots of broke single women here who were from here and trying to leave. Stick with college girls or develop a taste for the big ones (or white girls). The 3 strip clubs are okay. Downtown night life is relatively safe but kind of sterile. I was bored with it after about a month.
Crime is worse than you'd think. One of my co-workers was killed in a robbery in January.
Forbes magazine lists Charlotte as the 9th most miserable city in the country. Prepare to be bored out of your mind.
Traffic is not really that bad. Just seems so because everyone here drives so slowly. I've never seen anything like it anywhere.
Learn some Spanish.
The weather has been nice. Very mild. This is a great place if you like the outdoors.
If you are married with kids I'd recommend. If not, don't.
If you are going to move here, be quick while it's still relatively cheap.
Charlotte is not for me. I'm very glad I'm leaving. In fact, I'm packing now.
Okay, he met some weirdos who DO NOT represent Charlotte at all. Bruh, too bad you're leaving but don't blame it on the slaves you met. I've been here my whole life and I only know one person like that and she works in a downtown hotel housekeeping.
Dude I hate to tell you this, but one of my mom's friends are from Charlotte, and says "yassuh" all the time. He's in his 50's , but that's still no excuse.
My brother's wife is from there also. She's country as fuck everyone in our family mocks her. You have to see it for yourself.
My cousins fiance is from the outskirts of CLT. We went out to eat with them here in Raleigh at the Cheesecake Factory. This dude is looking at the menu shaking his head at it, then blurts out loudly "I wont sum Chitlins!" I swear to you not. I had to step outside, because I was dying so hard.
The people who are hip and up to date in Charlotte usually aren't from there. Trust.
Your sentence structure and also the fact you say bruh also shows how you're not from Raleigh.
Charlotte and Raleigh both reside in the same state. However any many ways they are culturally different.
Charlottes culture is more along the lines of Columbia and Greenville, South Carolina.
Raleigh is more like Richmond and Hampton Roads Virginia.
Very different atmosphere.
Man stop it with this shit. Ill be the first to say Charlotte doesnt really have an identity, but its nowhere near as backward and bumfuck as any town in SC. Charlottes not known for anything, its kinda just here in the middle of a country ass state, dunno why people even settled here when the city was founded, yeah there are a few rivers around, but nothing that could sustain a bustling metropolis, no trade routes ran through here, no ports or anything. Its just an oasis or steel and glass that appears on the horizon. So yeah I could see how you can find a bunch of country ass people here because once you get outside the city limits, thats all it really is in this state. Aint nothing really great about Releigh either. Again its kinda just there, its like Bob Ross came in with his paint brush and said, "y'know, let paint some happy little trees over here, opps, I mad a mess, lets clean it up and call it a happy accident." The ONLY reason Raleigh got as big as it did is because of all the colleges around. To be blunt about it. NC is still a rural ass SOUTHERN state, where crakkkas are racists and black folks are country. You can get away from it somewhat when your inside Charlottes city limits, but once you leave the city limits, its like Deliverance. Country people just dont know anybetter, that all, cant really fault them. They heard there were jobs in Charlotte, so they came from Lumberton, Concord, Albemarle and all those other little ass towns with there old country ways and now you think thats what Charlotte is. Wrong, Charlotte is basically a melting pot, of progressive people from other places and walks of life, and then you have the locals who are just along for the ride. Pay no attention to the locals, theyre just happy to have a job and a place to stay while thanking the Lord for everydamn thing. Just do you, and get all this money that can be had here. Because its here.This kid right here just compared Charlotte to Greenville, or Columbia.Man stop it with this shit.

Greenville! I was just in Greenville and while it's nice, Charlotte is a different animal. To take a couple of rural relatives and say they represent the whole of Charlotte is silly.
And don't think I didn't notice that you said everyone in your family mocks your brother's wife. That's fucked up. Maybe it's not that everyone else is country (like that's a negative) but you have problem and a need to look down on other people.
Raleigh/Durham/Chapel-Hill(research triangle) = College town

are you serious??? G-Boro the second livest city in NC next to the QC

I LIVE IN GBORO MAN......SHIT LETS GET REAL ABOUT IT....
GBORO HAS ITS MOMENTS BUT 2ND.....NAH MAYBE 3RD OR 4TH
CAUSE SHIT YOU CAN GO TO FAYETTEVILLE HIT 2 BARS....3 STRIP CLUBS....AND 2 DANCE CLUBS AND BLOW A STACK IN ONE NITE EASY!!!!
JUST BEING REAL ABOUT IT......
Ehh Graham street aint that bad, but Beaties Ford down by Trade st is still bad, that stretch from about where I85 ramps are to down past that Bojangles after you pass Smith... Thats kinda rough. Downtown aint really all that safe once you get to where the Transit center is. Dunno why the hell they thought putting Bobcats arena at THAT location would be a good idea. As for nightlife, it only really gets live around here for CIAA weekend. Otherwise you wasting your time clubbing, I might go to a few First Fridays this year, but last year I really got to the point where I had seen about half the chicks in the spot no more that a month before somewhere else. Crystals is the shit though, That part of Plaza rd is ghetto as fuck to, so dont sleep. The only club I want to hit up is that joint that used to be Menage, I drove by there and I saw a ton of bitchs on white couches and shit. Might be worth looking into. But yeah I say if your older than say... 26 you need to be booed up cause aside from the ghetto ass clubs (Crush, V lounge) wack as strip club(Nikkis, Onyx, Peaches and cream) there really aint much to do. Its sad when the hottest spot in the University area is Fridays on Friday night... YES THE RESTAURANT!!!But I pay about 9 and change for a 3BR two bath 1,500 sq ft town home in the University area, my whips paid off and the recession aint really hit down here yet. So if you tryin to make moves, you better get in now, cause in 10 years its gonna be ugly down here. The Job market id pretty good considering what its like around the country, as long as you have some skills and no wrap sheet, you can basically slip and fall and get a job. But like I said, you want in NOW, because mad people are gonna move here when the bomb goes off, and you want to be the one on the other side of the door if you know what I mean. We got some females to, but yeah allot of em do have kids, the ones that dont are in high demand and simpin is at an alltime low. You get one on the team, better slap the franchise tag on that bitch, cause there aint many. Hope that helped the OP a little.

OMFG, you noticed the slow driving tooI've been in Charlotte for almost two years now. I'm leaving next week.

. I'm from NY and the way how people drive in charlotte is killing me. This is the only place I see people follow the speed limit to a T. I was driving with this chick in my car doing 50 and she was telling me to slow down, and everybody is always on the phone. Thats the reason for all the trafficIMO Charlotte is not the city to re-locate for a single dude....at least not yet. If you have a wife and kids you're good. Nice place to raise a family. The nightlife is bland to me, and all they play is southern hip-hop ALL DAY!C/s the dangerous spots. Graham Ave. and Beatties Ford Rd. come to mind for starters....

I'm still trying to find, in Charlotte, a nice atmosphere for young black professionals. Every now and then, Innercircle might throw a hot party, but it's few and far between. If I had the time (and money right now), I'd start a small business geared towards nightlife opportunities for young black professionals here in Charlotte.
Downtown does seem to have the same plastic clubs with the same plastic women...and, yes, people do drive slow...
The majority of slow drivers are newcomers who have no idea where they're going, people on the phone (next time you pass someone doing 50 in a 65 look at them, they're on the phone)or illegals who don't want to get stopped.
Personally, I try to not drive anymore than 5-7 mph over the speed limit because I have several tickets and can't afford another hike in my insurance because the muhfucka behind me should have left 5 minutes earlier.
Interesting thread. Every time someone hypes a city, someone from that city says it's bullshit and boring. To the OP, just move to Charlotte and find out for yourself. It's not a prison or the Army, you can leave if you don't like it.
Glenwood South and The Warehouse district, both located downtown Raleigh. Shits on every city in NC. Period.
Gott Damn, and my girl wanna move out there because her sister lives there. I don't know about it now. I was looking around to see what people thought about Fayateville, but I keep hearing it's a damn Military town, and I can't fuck Military Niggas(they're too dumb to begin with) tryin' to fuck my girl and not respecting a married woman.
I guess I'll move to Texas then, atleast the white boys will keep away from my black woman, for the most part, LOL


You ever thought the problem could be you?
