I've called four different cities "home", so I'll do all of them!
Marietta, Georgia - charming, as in southern charm. Back when I lived there (the late '80s and early '90s), you would've been able to accurately describe it as "small", but it's since grown into the big suburb it is today, with over 60000 people! So yeah, charming it is. lol
Charlotte, North Carolina - rough. We lived in a predominantly black area of Charlotte near the community of Matthews, and most of the kids were really loud, rambunctious, rowdy... you get the picture. lol
Fairfield, Ohio - peaceful. It's a suburb like Marietta is and, by comparison to Charlotte, way quieter!
Norwood, Ohio - bustling. It's basically like Charlotte without all the black people. Doesn't help that I live right next to a gas station and across from an auto parts shop.
