Recently I have noticed that a few people on my life are leaving the Detroit area for North Carolina. Granted, these are people who are on the peripheral but they are still close enough to be noticed, daughters of friends who happen to also be friendly with me and (soon to be ex-) coworkers of Patti, but this is on the heels of people like my aunt who visits Charlotte several times a year for business.
This isn’t like the flood of people who went to Texas or Tennessee about 10 or 15 years ago, but most of the relocators are young and that’s never good for a dying area like Detroit.
Next thing you know, middle aged technologically oriented guys will be taking off for North Carolina. Then who will be left?
