UNCSA doesn't have any character. As another poster said, its because of Old Salem, Salem Academy/College, parts of downtown, and the closer-in neighborhoods like West End, Buena Vista, etc.

What BC1960 said. Also downtown has many historic buildings, several of which have been and are being repurposed, particularly industrial buildings.

I don't equate "intriguing" with "character".

Agreed. Those are the four cities that came to my mind as well. There are probably some smaller ones that would fit as well but I am less familiar with those.

Although Charlotte does better in that regard than many know or give it credit for, pound for pound, a couple of other cities in the state do a better job.

Plenty of "character"? Really? In what way? I think Charlotte is great...love Uptown, light rail, museums, sports, etc., but none of that screams "character" to me, especially in light of the way the OP asked.
