let's push every other city out of the way and just look at Houston, Atlanta, and Charlotte. Let's first look at some pictures
Atlanta
Houston
Charlotte
Judging by main skyline, Atlanta wins.
Economy:
Charlotte is the second biggest banking city in the nation
Charlotte wins
Biggest Medical Center:
Houston
It's a tie.
Charlotte is nice but it doesnt belong in this discussion. The only places in the south that belong in this discussion are the largest [Atlanta, Dallas, DC, Houston, Miami], the cultural icons [Nashville, New Orleans] or the historical [Richmond, Savannah, Charleston]
You have to be joking bringing Charlotte in this thread.
Dang, you guys low-ball Charlotte so much. Its ok to mention Nashville, Richmond, Savannah, etc.. but not Charlotte??!! Truth be told there is no capital, the region is too vast. Do you honestly believe our daily lives in Charlotte are affected by Houston, Dallas, Atlanta..NO! We are a csa of nearly 3 million people in an area smaller than Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Nashevilles, etc... MSA! We have our own amenities, shopping and financial districts, 8th busiest airport in the world, etc...Give off your high horse people.
And for what its worth Charlotte arguably has best DOWNTOWN and DOWNTOWN SKYLINE( not total skyline) out of all of them(not including New Orleans).

Calm down man. I love Charlotte, you are probably familiar with Neighboring Concepts, my uncle is the partner, his office is on Morehead St and has done many projects around there including the LYNX transit stops and the Harvey B. Gantt Center Uptown. I'd take downtown Atlanta over Uptown Charlotte.
Charlotte has no business in a thread like this. Richmond and Savannah have the history to be brought up, Nashville doesn't, and neither does Charlotte. Personally, any city that doesn't consist of Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Miami, New Orleans, Richmond, Charleston, or Savannah doesn't deserve to be in this thread. I don't consider DC or Baltimore southern in the least bit.
Easily Atlanta. It's the most bustling, most happening from media, entertainment and probably economic perspectives. At first, I was gonna say Houston, but Texas is really its own region since it's so massive, so I don't see it as being "southern."

Economy is to Houston, bustling is subjective, Houston is undoubtedly southern.
