Does anyone live in the Carolinas?

I may be moving to the Charlotte area at the end of the month. I haven't decided if I want to be on the North Carolina or South Carolina side. Are there any pros/cons to this? I have a few other questions, but want to see if anyone even lives in the area first. Anyone?

I do - north of Charlotte around Davidson. Much nicer people up here :)

Will you be working/going to school in Charlotte? If so then that and gas prices will probably dictate where you live :)
Do you have school age kids? S. Carolina and Mecklenburg County schools aren't great. Iredell (North of Charlotte) is a better school district plus they have lower taxes.

I can give you more info if you tell me more about what you plan to do here and where you need to be close to.

They BOTH have state income taxes. Something to add to your consideration of where to move.

South Carolina is drowning in debt. $933 million dollars is owed to the Federal Government just on unemployment that was "borrowed". It, like many states has an under-reported unemployment rate, where the real rate is somewhere near the 20-30% mark. I'd say to stay near Charlotte, on the North Carolina side.

To answer your question, no. No one lives in the Carolinas.

@prosperouscheat: No kids and no wife. Phew. I have a possible job offer, it just isn't official yet. I should know for sure by the end of the month. I met with the owner yesterday though and everything seems good. The main office is located in western SC, but the new office is probably going to be in northern Rock Hill. I've been looking online for places to live and am really interested in the Alpha Mill apartments but an employee of the company told me NoDa/Uptown isn't a good place to live. I just figured living in that area would make it easier to meet people my first year there. Do you know of any areas that are fairly close to Rock Hill that are nice? Do you know anything about Rock Hill? I'm 25, so it'd be nice to live in a somewhat younger area.

I'm actually not positive where the new office is even going to be, so that makes it a little hard. It might even be in Charlotte, but either way most likely in the Rock Hill/Charlotte area. I guess I need to wait and find out more.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
