Charlotte is nothing more than a medium city, with medium city amenities. Nothing special about Charlotte whatsoever!! Not bashing just stating the truth. When people think of Charlotte no one goes....ohhh and ahhhh!! I may be alone on this...but I just don't see Charlotte getting any bigger....maybe another 500,000 in the metro..but I think that's it....i don't think Charlotte will ever be on Atlanta's tier.

I totally agree with you.......

I'm not going to pretend that Charlotte is like New Orleans or Atlanta as far as nightlife is concerned, because it's not. The city isn't exactly known for nightlife, but I think it's pretty decent; it's certainly not non-existent like many here are making it out to be. Uptown in particular is most active Thursday-Saturday nights. Here are some YouTube clips during regular weekends in Uptown. Again, I'm not saying it's something awesomely spectacular, but I think we do well for ourselves here and it's getting better:

This isn't the full extent of Charlotte's nightlife, but it's pretty representative of a normal weekend in Uptown.

People say "ohhh and ahhh" when it comes to Charlotte being a very livable place. It would be awesome to have the nightlife and attractions of a place like New Orleans, but I'd take Charlotte's everyday quality of life any day of the week. I just think you're at the point in life where things like nightlife is just as or more important than career advancement, owning a home, and other quality of life issues. It's natural to feel like that when you're younger.

You're right in that Charlotte may not ever be on Atlanta's tier, and if so, I seriously doubt it will happen in any of our lifetimes, but what constitutes your basis of future population growth? Nightlife isn't the cause of growth; it's an effect. As long as a city continues to add jobs and provide a low cost of living, it will grow. And Charlotte is clearly continuing to do that.

I personally do not like Charlotte whatsoever.

Really, I would seriously like to know where is Charlotte adding jobs?? They have had one of the highest unemployment rates going. They are laying off at BOA.

Its Not Dead but it is A lil boring. As I find Alot of people from Charlotte coming here on the weekends to be entertain( especially the Gays). I know on the weekends I hit the bars first and then around 2:00am im off to the club.. Even though there is No entertainment District in Atlanta its is Jumpin as they put it lol
