I wonder how much the ad agency got paid for coming up w/ that. But maybe others think it is a great slogan. |

Feel free to head on back to ATL, then.
Charlotte isn't for everyone. That's why they make different flavors of ice cream, ya know?

It is okay!!! Folks in Atlanta are more than welcome to give their opinions of Charlotte. To an Atlantan, Charlotte is not cosmopolitan. People from any city that is larger than Charlotte would not see Charlotte as being cosmopolitan. I will say this. The fact that an Atlantan felt the need to come onto Charlotte's forum and tell us that we are not cosmopolitan is kinda funny. People from New York, Chicago, and LA don't do this. I wonder why an Atlantan did?  Could it be that he is tired of all the Charlotte vs. Atlanta comparison questions down in Georgia? Could it be that he is a little sour about the whole Nascar Hall thing? Could it be that the Panthers are better than the Falcons? Could it be that if Charlotte was a town in Metro Atlanta, Charlotte's name would be listed first because the "city" is actually larger? Could it be that Atlanta transit officials recently made a trip to Charlotte to take notes on how to build a light rail system then wrote a 2 part series about what they learned from Charlotte in the local paper?
Here is a link to that article. Being that Atlanta is so cosmopolitan, this article would suggest that some folks in Atlanta thinks Charlotte is becoming cosmopolitan too.

Interesting observations, Urban! And I agree - we are all fully aware that CLT is not ATL - and I don't know anyone who WANTS CLT to be ATL. ATL is just down the road . . . when I want what ATL has to offer, I drive down and partake, LOL.
