It's hella boring and dry here. I'm originally from Baltimore, where you see people 24/7, everywhere. Here (and most of the South in general) you only really see people if you go into a store or the movies or something.
Breh it’s not too many cities that have the level of street activity that Baltimore does. Bmore got that 3 generations outside on a block at given time shyt going on. I don’t think Bmore people move away and are happy anywhere really, and that’s a reason why. Philly probably the only city that would come close to how y’all hang out in the hood. I’d say it’s a regional cultural thing, cuz you don’t see that in spots like Detroit or Gary, and from an eyeball level on the street, they look worse. And that’s saying a lot cuz most of what I saw in Bmore outside the stuff around downtown a few spots in NW looked fukked up.
If you really looking for that type of activity in Charlotte you can find it tho, it’s just not on a stoop or a street corner. Gas stations, strip clubs, Barber shops. I feel what you saying cuz I’m the same way, I can post round the way just as easily as get dressed up and go pull up somewhere. I lived in Uptown at first, which was str8. Then moved right off Tuckaseegee, wasn’t 24/7, but it was more than a little bit of random hood shyt going on
Naw, not to me at least. Matthews is probably the best area to live in tbh. Harrisburg next, then Concord. I'm in the University area.
Breh I was with you on the first one, but if you complaining about it being slow and dry, Mathews and them other areas are the last places I would tell someone to move to in Charlotte. No way in hell I would tell someone who say they interested in the things OP mentioned to move to those areas over Uptown, South End, NoDa, Plaza Midwood and maybe Dilworth if you a young family man. fukk yeah it’s worth to pay the ticket in those areas if you trying to go out.
