The situation described in the article has the same feel. Charlotte is the job candidate who really wants the job and is waiting anxiously for a response.

Charlotte is my #2 hope to get it, behind Atlanta.

Because it would at least be good for the southeast. If Charlotte got bigger and were more of an Atlanta-sized metro, between Atlanta and Washington, then that would be good for the whole corridor, as a corridor.

I can get behind the mentality of 'if not Atlanta, then at least the Piedmont Atlantic'.

I do have a strong feeling they will pick a city in the southeast, to geographically counter-balance HQ1 in the northwest.

Is 83 million for the city or metro? If it’s for the city that’s almost as much as LA, Atlanta, and Dallas which are all around 100 million.

That's for the whole metro. With only 20 million in the CBD, it seems like Amazon would be too much for Charlotte to swallow.

CNBC predicts a metro in North Carolina will get it.

NC launched a campaign on Seattle city buses to get Bezos's attention.

If Amazon is wanting to gain diversity in it's workforce, I don't think NC's promo video of mostly (99.9%) white people enjoying themselves will help.

Cities are too small. Charlotte and the Triangle aren't large enough. The smallest city that they would consider is a Bmore size city imo
