The biggest problem with Greensboro and the Triad is that they are mill towns despite their size - textiles and tobacco. Their banking sectors were confiscated by Charlotte and their academic sectors have not really grown as compare to the Triangles. When Apple looks at NC, they look at Raleigh. When someone wants to build a truck or a car, they look to the Triad. This shift is by itself an issue that is probably not fully comprehended outside the state. The triangle has undergone massive socioeconomic gentrification compared to the triad in the past 40 years.

If you are leaving Greensboro for Charlotte you are a moron.

Go to Alexandria/Arlington or the Triangle.
