Recently I was home for Thanksgiving break , and I realized just how much I really miss the north. The south is great and all but just doesn't have that extra flare that only the north can provide. Charlotte is a great city if you are looking to start a family but really just is not for the average college student, its small with not much night life and everything closes early! When I was home in Philly not only did me and my friend pauls night begin late , at 12 am, but even when it ended close to 4 am , there were plenty of things still open to allow us to either grab something to eat or drink.
I guess the best example of how the North is just better suited for me would start at my appetite. I'm hungry 24/7. In Charlotte if you get hungry on a weekday at 3 am the only place that has something to eat is the gas station. At home if I got The 3am hunger on a weekday, I have at least 10 different food places around me that can satisfy my hunger. One in specific ( my favorite ) has to be Wawa , its just heaven in a store , and being open 24/7 it will never disappoint me! Wawa alone makes me miss the north but overall I'd say I just miss being in a city that has a pulse!

I completely agree, the north is superior to the south in almost every way. People tend to be smarter and sharper as well. :-) The south is too hot in the summer and the north is perfect. and who doesnt love snow?
ReplyDeletei agree. however there is something about charlotte and gets me coming back. its a love hate relationship i would say. im here for 3 months love it and cant wait to leave it...just to come back again
ReplyDeleteFor hose who are unaware of what WAWA is, you should probably get in a car and start driving north until u find one. They are the world nicest, cleanest, most well stocked, "Mini Mart" there is. One day if were all lucky they'll be nation wide.
ReplyDeleteI can't tell you how many of my friends from up North talk about Wawa! I agree, things do close pretty early around here; however, I was born and raised in Charlotte, so I'm used to it. I think Charlotte is just more family oriented, therefore, things don't stay open as late. It's a great place to raise a family, though!
ReplyDeleteI cant wait till i get my first WAWA
