[quote=Akhenaton06;18558937]Charlotte's core has come a long ways over the years, but it honestly doesn't belong in the same category as NOLA, Charleston, and Richmond. Totally different type of city with challenges that those cities with more mature, intact urban fabr ics don't have within their downtowns (i.e., lack of streetfront retail, public spaces).[/QUOTe

downtown charlotte is extremely vibrant and dense with foot traffic during the day... There are restaurants, retail, museums, gyms,everywhere... I find it interesting that everytime charlotte is mentioned all the atl posters come
Out to bash...

And do agree on some of the others; NOLA, Charleston etc have very pedestrian friendly and vibrant downtowns - I honestly have never been in DT Richmond

It is totally different during the day... U really should xheck it out especially between 11am and 2pm...

Charlotte is irrelevant to the topic; you need to pick out of the given cities. It wouldn't hurt you that much to pick Atlanta.

Honestly I re-read the post and didnt find it to be at all "bashing" - someone seems sensitive

And from my time in Charlotte I would agree with the comments; while Charlotte has gotten better in terms of street level foot traffic it is still not there among the others noted; especially at night which to me is what seperates areas, there are so many work centers with street level actiity during the work week but being able to maintain this into the evening is what seperates the top urban enclaves.

Why do u feel the need to bring up Charlotte when its not even apart of this thread.. if you would stop glorifying Charlotte people wouldn't always have something to say..

[eek]

downtown (or uptown as they call it) charlotte is not worth bragging about. sorry. its not terrible but ...its just not "there" yet.

at all. it leaves much to be desired...for now.

For the record o said new orleans, charleston and richmond as well....

I can see what u mean however of that is the case then mone of the four cities mentioned meets the criteria for a vibrant downtown
