I don't really think so and I like Greensboro, but I don't think it has nearly as many "things to do" as Raleigh in general, or more specifically downtown Raleigh. But I do like Greensboro and think it's well worth a visit.
Keeping county populations in mind, why is Wake's visitor spending more comparable to Guilford's than Meck's?
I assumed you meant what you wrote, which was that Raleigh was "always destined for greatness". As in from its founding in the 1790's. Thats an absurd statement.
Lol,
This is going nowhere. Raleigh is obviously doing something right its one of the fastest growing cities in the nation , and has continued to blossom while having a "lacking" downtown. I guess my absurd comment doesn't sound to far from the truth. Also, my absurd comment can be backed up with proof. I'm not here for NC C-D hype and bias. Let's stick to the facts

Yes, lets. Unsupported claims about the inevitability of greatness, as well as "greatness" itself, aren't facts.
Correction, it is the top visited museum/historic site/educational venue in the state. Attractions can be anything from a mall to a theme park (ie Concord Mills 16 million-plus visitors; Carowinds 2 million-plus visitors).

How did I know this would turn into a Raleigh vs. Charlotte debate lol. Greensboro is a great city. All the bigger cities (as well as the smaller ones) have something to offer. This need that some posters have to make one particular city better than the rest is tiring, don't you think? Save it for city vs city ( which I avoid).
Can't be done. Its all opinions. Thats the point. Glad you finally got there.
Fact: Raleigh is one of the fastest growing cities in the nation
Opinion: Raleigh's downtown is lacking.
As you can see, it's not all opinions. Greatness is in the eye of the beholder, so it's no need for us to keep going in circles lol.
