Yet Raleigh still blows Charlotte out of the water in just about any national ranking you can point to of what people really want in a city. Funny, dat
You keep believing that, and with $2.00 you can get a cup of coffee.
You can not find any date from the US Government to support your claim.
As I thought, you obviously haven't visited or lived any other places..... So Raleigh and Triangle should be a mecca to you being only familiar with such a small world, fair enough. Lol, the Smithsonian of the south.
Yes, Charlotte's uptown is more energetic and vibrant than Raleigh's downtown.
Can you hear the Charlatans….especially the guy who's only been to NC once in his life….grinding the enamel off their teeth over this?
I think you are making a bigger thing about Dix property, and that the people in Charlotte could care less.
We are dealing with our own park system and development in center city.
Great that Raleigh got the Dix property. I don't think Charlotte wanted it.

Perhaps the fact that I've been to North Carolina once in my life gives me an outside perspective and I can see past your hometown shades. It really doesn't matter what overall metric you use, Charlotte is the more important city of the two. Perhaps you prefer Raleigh. Fantastic. Lots of people do. Although more people seem to prefer Charlotte.
I'm not sure weighing in on a place you've barely seen any of puts you in any better position than someone who can't get past their hometown shades. I've seen what Virginians think of North Carolina cities and I can't say they're the most objective group of people. I certainly wouldn't feel qualified to judge whether Tulsa or Oklahoma City is better based on my one trip to Oklahoma in my life...
Similarly, I visited Dallas a few times as a kid and Austin and San Antonio once as an adult. I recall having a blast in Austin and being bored to tears in Dallas, but for all I know it could be a very different place now. It's been a long time, and plus I was a kid. The things I could do for fun back then were more limited anyway.
You post a bunch of arbitrary lists and assume that is what people want. The fact is, Charlotte appears in many of those types of lists as well... often above Raleigh.
Just get over it that Charlotte is the premier city in the state. The sooner you come to grips with it, the sooner you will be able to enjoy the things that Raleigh offers without being bitter towards Charlotte.
And though I am not from Tulsa, I should point out that the Tulsa MSA of ~900,000 is probably a better comparison to Raleigh's 1.2-1.3 million than Charlotte's 2 million+
And don't bother posting anything about comparing different types of fruit. We know you need to combine other metropolitan areas with Raleigh to make yourself feel better. We don't know why, but we know.
Charlotte appeared in very few of those rankings, in the few they did did appear they were behind Raleigh, shall I repost that entire page of rankings again for you to click through and see for yourself?
I've read about tuna tar tar, been to opinion blogs about it, never had it though, I'm an expert on tuna tar tar! lol ! you're funny
Actually Tulsa is more of a bible town, more like Charlotte than Raleigh I'm afraid. Raleigh doesn't have a lot of mega churches, televangelist museums or major streets name after televangelists nor is Raleigh listed as a top "bible city".
Lots of states have more than one "premier city" as you put it. There's Dallas and Houston, there's LA and SF in California.
Of course had you been to NC more than ONCE IN YOUR LIFE you might know these things
Is it really that dull where you are you have to troll a city site in a state you've only been to once in your whole life? Wow, poor thing.
