      Hilarious, only issue is towards the end with the girl who was born in Charlotte. No one who was born there stays there. The whole city is transplants. Or at least that’s my view of it as one of the many people who lived there until 18 and bailed twenty years ago.

        It might be changing; my cousin’s kids grew up in the Charlotte area (not all born there) and the younger daughter got married last year and is still in the Charlotte area. She did a year or two at NC State but transferred back to UNC Charlotte and has stayed there ever since. Her older sister has moved around a bit but I think she’s back in the Charlotte area now, too.
