A once-booming town whose prosperity ended in the 1940s. Was also once a Ku Klux Klan center in Michigan, but is now a hicktown with lots of scary Wal-Mart people. Close to the capital, Lansing, but separated by a tiny town called Potterville. Home of the stupid school board that replaces their awesome looking logo with a shitty ripoff of the Seahawks, and has every Friday the 13th off. The superintendent of the school district is a gnome in disguise. Highly clique-y. Church on virtually every street corner. High school mascot is the Oriole, despite the lack of orioles in Charlotte.

Population: About 10,000.

**Pronounced "Shar-LOT", not "SHAR-lit".**

damn sexy bitch. totally fuckable

where people with money in Charlotte eat, live, and play. Where kids either go to Myers Park or Providence, or the three top private schools (Latin, Country Day, Providence Day). Where families play at Quail Hollow, Myers Park, Carmel, or Ballantyne Country Clubs on Saturday and then are dressed in their best for church (Presbyterian or Methodist, of course) on Sunday. Where Harris Teeters are on every corner. Where the roads are wide, upscale shopping plentiful, and the recession not felt. Where crime is (for the most part) an afterthought, and where steakhouses and Neiman Marcus reign supreme. Where Old Money Old South, in Quail Hollow and Myers Park, meets new money New South, in Ballantyne and Providence Country Clubs. Where business in Charlotte and the Carolinas is done and where the benefits are reaped and spent.

A pseudo acronym for "North of Davidson Avenue" that is known as the "arts district." This neighborhood is known for it's "art." That is, the "art" that's done by a a fine art student who is working on their master's or has recently completed it, though it is made to look like some kitschy folk art. Everyone then assumes the artist is naive, when in fact they have paid over $100k for their education. Their rent and hedonistic lifestyle is paid for by their parents who were sure they were raising the next master artist. Said artists like to pretend (s)he lives in DUMBO (and that their work is original or even interesting). That's NoDa, Charlotte, NC.

A band that sucks almost as much as Nickelback, which are both corporate whores. Manufactured by whoever pays.

Charlotte is nice a mid-Michigan town with lots of great people... If you were blind. Charlotte is a cesspool of meth heads and wanna be gangsters. Going into Charlotte and meeting the people, you'd believe you were in a deep southern town. It's the same town that had a meth lab blow up right across from the police and fire station. Don't worry, they tore it down and turned it into a nice outdoorsy plaza. They even turned a old cemetery into a park, they couldn't even get all the body's out for some reason. Charlotte High School, is ran by an old man and a homophobic angry tattooed Mexican lady. If you live in Charlotte you either love it or are dying to get out.

A band that wrote and performed "i just wanna live" and continued to call themselves punk. Fucken i just wanna fucken live. And still punk. An MTV created scourge thats a greater threat to individual freedom than islamic jihad and talk back radio combined.
