    Hey Sis! Fellow RUclipsr here! I just moved back to CLT after traveling for a few years. I lived in the RDU area during college and I’ll say: I think you’ll enjoy CLT the more you meet people and get used to the city. There’s so much more to do here than in Raleigh!

    Carolina Place Mall in Pineville NC. Minutes from Charlotte. And for the record. Charlotte has become a melting pot. So you can't say people from Charlotte can't drive because there are people coming from all over moving here. Just saying.
