Duke/UNC/Wake are all very respectable schools so I would presume they would do really well. The only problem is that these areas are more in the RDU sphere than Charlotte. Whereas in Atlanta you have Emory and GT literally minutes away, and you can get to UGA in about hald the time it takes to get to UNC/Duke. As for Dallas, I would say UT Austin would be the only top tier school.

It's one thing to be a magnet for top-tier regional schools; it's another thing to actually have those schools. There may be something about chemical programs at schools in the Charlotte and DFW areas that I'm missing, but I was simply making a factual observation. But as you alluded to and what I said earlier, all of these cities/metros are magnets for educated, skilled workers and that really does matter.

Please stop. Myrtle Beach is one of the most popular golfing destinations on the East Coast. This is a fact, but by all means, please keep telling this SC native he doesn't know what he's talking about.

Charlotte is a big magnet for college graduates in the Triangle area which has long been a selling point for the city. And there are certainly more top tier schools in Texas than UT; as a matter of fact, I believe the most highly ranked school in the state is Rice.

At any rate, I don't think Sherwin-Williams is the type of company that would rely all that heavily on nearby universities for the commercialization of research like tech/biotech/healthcare companies tend to do. It's more of a legacy company that would put more weight on factors that would help them attract and retain talent. Of course, having great colleges and universities help with that but Cleveland already has that and is still bleeding talent, so I don't think that's the primary factor under consideration here.

Please stop acting like you know everything on this board. It’s annoying and a disservice to those seeking factual info. You are wrong here bud. Let’s bring this back on topic.

Atlanta is a fine fit for a relocation. Hopefully the city lands this opportunity.

Agree with this completely.

I don't know "everything on this board" and I barely interact with you on this board so I have no clue where all this anger is coming from, but my comment about Charlotte was based on my knowledge of the Carolinas and the region's status as a relocation/vacation destination for Ohioans, and those are factors that can influence corporate relocation decisions. Your ignorance of Myrtle Beach's status as a golfing destination is a personal problem. I could easily post several links to show how blatantly wrong you are, but it's pretty obvious that you live in the universe of alternative facts and reality is whatever you say it is.

Now please, stop embarrassing yourself and go to bed. These posts of yours are just painful to read, especially since you actually acknowledged the legitimacy of my overall point and now you're putting your personal insecurities on display in the worst way. It's not even this serious. I pray you get well soon.

Lol give it a rest. Please stay on topic.

Have to agree with this statement on Mutiny77. He or she has a strong preference for the Carolinas. But the rationale Mutiny77 is providing is an extreme stretch. Dallas and Atlanta have fairly equivalent amenities in their metros and nearby...

So you go full meltdown mode and take the thread wildly off-topic and now you want to play moderator? You have some really deep-seated issues that you need to resolve. I'm not responsible for your trauma so stop lashing out at me over something trivial that I happen to be right about. Go see Joker or something.
