Oh good grief, snobbish much?

Those are the pinnacle of museums in one of the largest, oldest cities in America. Charlotte was nothing but a nice little town until about 50 years ago You can't justify finding fault with the lack of a Met here.

Not every city can be NYC! And guess what? Charlotte doesn't want to be.

It's silly to compare Charlotte's museums to NYC's, but one could look to Atlanta's high museum as a model. It's definitely superior to the Mint.

You want NYCesque museums? Move to NYC.

The MET might be the greatest art museum in the entire world... and you're comparing the Mint to it...

Charlotte also needs an international media and political presence. I think that Gov Pat should incentivize one of the four television networks to relocate here from NY and the same holds true with the UN.
