And finally, how hot does it really get in Charlotte and Atlanta, and for how long is it hot every year? Heat might be the thing to keep me away from the south, because I don't do well with it at all (every summer in Chicago, my favorite thing to say is I'M MOVING TO ALASKA!)...
Thanks again.

Charlotte = the SOUTH. They are not in denial. The whole state of NC is the SOUTH. And it gets HOT there. Also, Charlotte is prone to droughts, so there is not much relief from the heat.
Atlanta = While it is far more progressive than most of the Southern states, it is still the mecca of the South. It does get hot, yes. But it has some cold-a$$ winters too. It is still a great place to live...I think you should definitely visit and check it out. Then again, ATL is my hometown...I love it, so I guess I am biased, lol.
If you want any extra info on either of these cities, you can pm me, as I am a frequent visitor to both.
