The Queen City

My parents and I are in Charlotte over break to scope out the city and check out where things are. We got here this afternoon and, let me say, I LOVE this city!!!! It's beautiful and cool and clean and affordable and not too big. Even the poor, more decrepit areas that we drove through (when my dad got lost) were not that bad. That's not to say that we saw the worst parts of town, but its definitely a good indication or life down here.
My dad decided to tell me today that he has a friend he used to work with who moved down here a year ago. She and her husband lease a townhouse with three bedrooms and 2.5 baths in a really nice area of town that they only pay $1000/month for. At the end of June they're buying a house and moving there and said I could take over their lease if I get a roommate and want to have it. Its a very Pentagon City-ish area about a 10 minute drive from the heart of the city. So, this could make my life infinitely less stressful.
We're spending the day around the city tomorrow and taking some "relocation tour" for people who are looking to move to Charlotte. I think it sounds like a bit of a scamy way to re-market a city tour, but whatever. It'll make my mom happy. At least we'll get to see the different neighborhoods.
Overall I think I'm really going to like living here. It seems like such a great city.
