That's cool. I just thought I could possibly see Avengers 3-D IMAX when I'm uptown in a few weeks. Looks like I'll have check that out Downtown.

That is a nice movie theater by the way. But some movies just demand IMAX IMO. Lucky for me Raleigh can accommodate.

I know there's another IMAX in Charlotte. But it's not uptown do I geuss it doesn't count,right?

Northlake, Concord Mills and Stonecrest all have IMAX, so there are plenty of options. I prefer Discovery Place stay with educational material.

If you want to count it sure, I just don't care for IMAX period.

Either you are super pathetic OR you're trolling. I'm starting to lean on trolling. Which having duplicate accounts should've been obvious. Kudos to you for trolling me. And shame on me for responding.


And Raleigh doesn't have a lot of those stores. Maybe a few. Like Apple.
Simply not true. The Charlatan echo chamber and myth factory is one to crank out hype. i've busted so many of these myths with links to prove that Raleigh/Triangle is better than Charlotte/Metrolina in every measurable way of what most people want in a city. The facts, it seems, have a Raleigh bias

Also when is the last time any of you have even been to Raleigh,especially Downtown Raleigh? Based on many of the recent comments,not lately.
"Dose the imax uptown only play kiddie movies? "

Probably. Charlotte is known for it's 3 B's: Bibles, Bubbas, and Babystrollers

Something like a Rolls Royce dealership requires a high number of wealthy people to support. The fact is, no metro area North Carolina, and let's throw in the Norfok/VA Beach metro area, could really support one on its own... but collectively, they can. So it makes sense to build something like that close to the population center... which happens to be Raleigh. There are probably more people getting their RR serviced in Raleigh and driving it back home to Charlotte than staying in Raleigh.

Of course that makes sense, because there are more millionaires in Charlotte than Raleigh.
