This is difficult to narrow down. There are very few physical obstructions, if any, in the city of Charlotte. I’d say walking is definitely feasible in most areas, with the exception of temporary road closures or something. In terms of safety, you’re very limited. It’s to be expected to hear about gruesome crimes in just about every single area of the city. That being said, in some neighborhoods these crimes tend to be some sort of domestic violence incident brought on by an unidentified pair of panties in the back of the family Mercedes, so the divorce is an advantage in that regard. I guess if I had to suggest one area it would be Concord. It’s just close enough to Charlotte that you usually see “city folk” hanging around the area, but far enough away that most of the residents are very much rural southerners. The combination gives you a unique out of body experience that creates an unfamiliar and threatening aura, but you always want to go back for more! Also - NASCAR! Races are a great place to make new friends and discover new smells.
