NC is second only to Texas in retaining its native residents. I did not know that.

Well, Charlotte doesn't seem to be that way. I was born and raised here and rarely meet another native.
My wife is a native of Charlotte born at Presbyterian downtown. Campbell university is as far as she has ever went. I could have left NC not long after getting here but really like the area.

According to the data, most natives are suburban/rural and the proportion in the urban centers is changing from mostly-native to mostly-immigrant.
I was born in NC (Morehead City), was away for the military and one job, but I doubt I will ever leave. I love NC.
My mom is 91. When she passes I will probably go to Colorado. Grandkids live there.
I was born at Presbyterian too. My mom and dad are also native Charlotteans. We have home movies of my mom when she was growing up on East Blvd. They just recently tore the old house down. It was across the street from Hankins & Whittington beside the church. The movies are from the early '20's!
You're talking infiltration of outsiders. He's talking about people leaving. Ive had the same experience though. Seems like most everbody has been here 3yrs or less. I find most of the old timers are on the west side.Well, Charlotte doesn't seem to be that way. I was born and raised here and rarely meet another native.

I'm a native as well, born at was then called Charlotte Memorial. Though, I've recently moved south of the border. My family and work are still in Charlotte.I was born at Presbyterian too.

That had to be at the corner of McDowell and Independence across from the old Ritz theater and just up the street from the House of Prayer. I grew up at McDowell and Trade St. Went to kindergarten at the Baptist Church now known as the Great Aunt Stella Center.My grandfather owned a printing business and the land it was on on McDowell St. He lost everything in the Great Depression. Some big fancy hotel sits on that land now. Sure would have been nice to have inherited it!

And that's a good thing, imo. Though I admit to being surprised nonetheless.
Wow, that very close to where I live and pretty much where I grew up. My wife's grandparents also had a dairy farm but outside Hickory NC.My wife's grandfather owned a family dairy farm. It was pretty much all of margret Wallace rd but when he died at 42 of a massive heart attack they started selling it off. They had owned all of independence high schools campus all the way back to about Bible Baptist at one point. But none of his family had any interest in farming and his kids were to small. So they sold it off little by little.

As much as I tell myself I'd like to move to the northwest (Montana or Idaho), reality is that I ain't leaving. Born here; will probably die here.
Love this state.

Presbyterian, circa 1970. Grew up over by East Meck. Got smart and moved to the better Carolina. Actually my grandparents went back down south and I followed. My mom and dad were/are Charlotteans. It's almost scary how much that city has changed. My mom would give me $10 and drop me off at Eastland Mall and I'd go ice skating all day, that was in the late 70's.
