I don't know anything about Garrison Enterprises, aside from that they approached me asking if I was still looking for work, so I can't really comment on them. As far as living in Charlotte goes, though ...
It's a pretty nice place to live. The traffic can be a pain at times and there has been an increase in gang activity, but nothing really serious. If you like sports, there are the Panthers (woohoo go Panthers), obviously and also the Bobcats in their brand new arena, which is quite nice I might add. There are also the Checkers and the Knights (hockey and baseball [farm team for the White Sox]). There are also a lot of art and entertainment things. There is always something going on at the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center. Now that the new basketball arena has opened, events have started to be scheduled at it as well. Since moving down here, some of the things I have seen have included Phantom of the Opera, Miss Saigon, STOMP, Manheim Steamroller, Clay Aiken's Christmas thing, etc. Recently, some of the bands to come through town have included Bon Jovi, The Rolling Stones and U2. Downtown is nice and mostly clean. Driving in downtown isn't bad, though most of the time I'm sure it's easier to just walk. I don't quite know what the cost of living is, as I don't actually live in Charlotte, but I don't think it would be bad at all. Another option to living in and around Charlotte itself would be to live across the sate line in Rock Hill, SC. The cost of living is lower, as are taxes. Depending on where one works in Charlotte and rock Hill, the commute could be as short as 25-30 minutes. Both cities are growing rapidly and the area is prosperous. Oh yeah, and right in between both of them, right off the Interstate is Paramount's Carowinds. That was a lot of random info. If you have any specific questions, ask away.
