Recently I was asked by someone why they should move the Charlotte Area and what did it have to offer them. Being a Yankee and transplanted here almost five years ago it was easy for me to explain the numerous benefits of what the Charlotte Area had to offer.
With all the snow falling in the Mid Atlantic region and the Northeast this past week I was thinking there is no better reason than that right now. You can get rid of the shovel and snow blower once and for all. You will never use it here in Charlotte. Being situated inland has many benefits for Charlotte. You are protected on the west by the mountains and are far enough in land that any severe weather hitting the coast line dissipates before hitting the Charlotte Area. but what got me really excited about moving to the Charlotte Area was i did not have to give up the luxuries I enjoyed up there with the seasons; but without the weather. Charlotte is situated in such a place that it is only two to three hours north west to go to some great skiing. in the warmer weather we are only three hours away from some of the greatest beaches in the Carolina's. The best part is i get to enjoy all of these benefits without having to deal with the weather. Snowfall here is minimal, if at all. In the summer the humidity here is barely a factor as compared to what I was dealing with in the Northeast. Yet, I get all the benefits that they do. granted I might have a little more driving, but is it not worth it to not have to deal with the snow?
Charlotte is also booming in regards to sporting activities, arts, and museums. Home to Lowe's Motor Speedway there are 2 major Nascar races held here every year. In addition Charlotte is about to open the Nascar Hall of Fame this spring. You also have the luxury of seeing professional football with the Carolina Panthers, Basketball with the Charlotte Bobcats, Minor league hockey with the Charlotte Checkers and minor league baseball.
In addition to the great sporting events, there are an array of museums and art galleries that are sure to entice every taste in Charlotte. in the spring and summer months you can enjoy the art district walk on Friday evenings through uptown (yes uptown....we do not have a downtown). There are fine museums of art, craft, design, history and nature all within the city limits of Charlotte.
No city would be complete without a night life. Charlotte hosts one of the best night life's in the area. Home to an array of bars and clubs there is always something going on for everyone. No matter your musical taste or if you prefer to dance the night away there is a wide array of clubs to suit any one's taste.
Kids love the Charlotte area since ti is home to Carowinds. An amusement park with roller coasters for the older kids and the kids in us. AS well as rides for the smaller ones based on Nickelodeon characters. Combine that with a great water park and you have a fun filled day ahead of you at Carowinds.
For me though the best feature of Charlotte was the parks and green-ways. there are so many I have lost count of them. They are a great place to go for a walk, jog, or ride a bike around Charlotte on. in addition to the numerous playground areas for kids to play on. Charlotte is also a very friendly bike city. it is very common to see groups of people riding bikes on the weekend throughout the city of Charlotte.
The state zoo is located only about 90 minutes away from Charlotte. In addition you are well within the same time frame to visit the zoo in South Carolina. Each offers their own distinct style.
While I could write for days and not cover all the wonderful things Charlotte has to offer I hope this helps you out in explaining some of the great benefits of what Charlotte has to offer.
