Concord, North Carolina

Would be considered a "nice town" to outsiders. If you have the lovely chance to grow up there, you know it is the epicenter of fuckery. The town you never want to go back to after high school. It's like a game that's really fun the first few times, but then you want to burn it. Home of the highly overrated Concord Mills Mall. And maybe the most stupid school system in the US, CCS. High school drama and competition at its best. Everybody knows everybody. Plenty of rednecks to go around. A nice (or not) mix of the classes. A NASCAR town, home to Lowe's Motor Speedway. You may even see your favorite driver around. Northerners love moving here. "Welcome to the south, now go home". . We've given up forests for those bitches. For those neighborhoods full of so-close-a-fire-could-reach-every-one houses. Sweet tea and cherry lemon sun-drop are everyday needs (unless, of course, you're from the north). 30-45 minute drive to the city of Charlotte. Seems innocent but... it's the town you'll warn your kids about. If you don't have enough sense to do well in high school and get out of here, maybe you were just meant to stay.

tiny little town with a lot of excitement. small town drama don't get better than this. kind of like cheers, where everybody knows your name. the town keeps getting bigger and so does the talk. Half hour outside of Charlotte, North Carolina.
