IMO, I'm just saying it stinks of past jabs of the CLT base. Don't get all defensive on me dear. I put in plenty of years in various northeast cities and I loved every minute of it, but it APPEARS that there are a few that love to get into the north vs south thing and IMO that appears that what the original poster had in mind, whether it be against CLT, the base, the city, or both. I live in CLT for the weather, laugh off the southern accents, but have NEVER since the "80's seen big bows in CLT. BELIEVE ME, I have heard far less talk about those damn yankees from the north in my day to day dealings than I see of jabs to Charlotte and southerners on these boards.
Perhaps the original poster could clarify what he/she was trying, but obviously failed to say.
Sweet tea, anyone??
