I live near the small town of Mint Hill, NC. It is nice in that it is suburb of the city of Charlotte. But it boasts a small town feel with a tiny downtown with a townhall. Tree-lined streets are very common. And the town only has a few restaurants. It is nice peaceful community that helps you forget the city nearby.
