Rate This City: Day 81 - Greensboro N.C

[Child_Of_God]

You should just reopen all the polls. I don’t understand how New Orleans is just 3 pages and about 15 votes.

I’m going to reopen all them when the series ends.

The malls are decent. None of them have shyt on Hanes, but the Friendly center is cool and high end. Four Seasons gets more ratchet by the year.

For good soul food, everyone recommends Stephanies or Dames. You might see some shyt pop off at the Cookout on Summit or Battleground. Crime is a growing issue; just avoid Florida Ave and surrounding areas in the late night. Winston dudes always beefing and clowning on them Boro dudes tho. Overall, it’s a cool lil city. Was reading an article the other day that spoke highly of the city’s economy. You come here to go to school, party, and it’s developing into a good city to raise a fam. I wouldn’t mind moving back.

You got the cities of High Point and Winston all 15/20 mins nearby, and PTI airport a cool airport to fly out of if you don’t want to do Charlotte or Raleigh

Why wait? I always thought it would be better if you left the polls open ended, you'd get more of a clear picture that way...

Typically you've given the voting only 48 hours, and I know for myself I've missed certain cities you've done, until after the voting is closed. 48 hours is nowhere near enough time, if you were gonna cap the voting it should been like 30 days, but honestly if you leave the voting open ended, people can go back and read and see how a city's perception has changed over time...

Open them all and leave them open, brodie!

The only problem I have with this is that I will have to tally the scores for every city each day. I’ve done 81 of them so far so that is gonna take me at least 2 hours to do.

Greensboro is a 6. Really pretty in the spring and summer. And its downtown is definitely on the rise...

A little overrated by native Carolinians, quality nightlife is basically limited to the one block of Elm and maybe two blocks of Spring Garden, and that's it. Yet native NCers will tell you Gboro is damn near 24/7 with the nightlife...

Its NC so the women are fine...

It's got heavy crime for NC, but I always have to tell people this. Carolina hoods are all typically less impoverished and less violent than hoods I'm similarly sized cities across the country. It's like this in every Carolina city besides the little small country towns like Rocky Mount or Lumberton....

All the "big" Carolina cities are bad for Carolina but good for damn near anywhere else. Charlotte is considered wild by NCers, but its violent crime, both today and historically, is lesser than other large cities like Minneapolis, Nashville, and Houston, for example...

Greensboro, Durham, and Fayetteville are the worst "big" cities in NC, yet if you start comparing them to similarly-sized cities like Baton Rouge, Little Rock, Dayton, Akron, Connecticut cities, etc, the three dangerous Carolina cities are all not as dangerous in comparison...

It's actually a really remarkable and interesting culturism that is very unique to the Carolinas. It's something to really try to figure out...

So Gboro has high crime for NC, but it ain't particularly bad overall...

I give it a 6 mostly based on its potential. Could live there, but wouldn't want to, it's too small. Not diverse enough for me. But its pretty and is growing the right way, certainly a comfortable place to settle in if you dont want too big of a city!

There isn't a way to set the polls up to where it shows a running tally? Like you know how we vote on threads all the time on here, and it shows the percentage of how people voted?

Just leave it like that!

We used to hit up Bennett for the gym jams @Bryan Danielson know what I’m talmbout. A lot of dykes at Bennett, but there was some bad shortys there too. We used to sneak them back to the dorms, and the RA’s would be waiting trying to catch you sneaking in someone after hours. Bentley’s used to have them girls getting naked, and had some fire wings. My girl got drunk as hell during her 21st, getting on the karaoke stage trying to sing. Me and my boy had to carry her ass outta there lol. I remember Magic City lost their liquor license, but was still slanging liquor out them cheap styrofoam coolers. The In Club was the UNCG/white spot until we took that over

So many stories about dudes getting robbed or stood up at that Exxon going into downtown. You was taking a chance walking through Riverwalk and getting on Bessemer.

Being on A&T’s campus during Obama winning in 2008 was magical.

I don’t think there is. The only solution I can think of is I think of is tallying the votes up each week.

I got sooooo many Aggie stories it’s ridiculous.

My 2 roommates in ATL right now for the Celebration Bowl


I’m not sure what Gboro is now..... but I think depending on your age and what your lifestyle is.... it dramatically fluctuates.

If you living there in your early 20s it’s easily a 8-10 due to being a college town with all the people there that in they down time definitely trynna party and fukk.

If you’re a little order and mature..... it’s probably about a 5-7
