Downtown .. uptown. bleh. Uptown sounds kind of snooty. I believe I used both in my last message.
Eh .. Carowinds is OK. The water park portion kinda sucks, but other than that ... The best thing going for it is it is right in between Rock Hill and Charlotte. Once you get on the Interstate, you can get there in about 10-30 minutes depending on the direction you are coming from. A season pass costs less than 2 seperate visits, so getting one of those and then just scooting up the road a couple of times a summer is pretty economical. If you pick the right times to go, there aren't any crowds either. More than a few times, I have gotten there and found the park to be pretty empty. There weren't any lines for the rides. I was able to ride a ride, get off and then walk back around and get right back on. Road every coaster at least 3 times one day heh. It's pretty nice. Scarowinds and their Christmas thing are worth going to at least once. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Root" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <cf-community@houseoffusion.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 24, 2007 12:13 PM Subject: Re: Where to move? > On 7/23/07, Todd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> I have really enjoyed living just south of Charlotte.
