Having lived the same distance from the center of London as I currently do from Uptown Charlotte.
I would hate Charlotte to become a world class city, London is great to visit but sucks to live there.
Weedy, guess that you've never been to London, the home of the one making that comment...
Perhaps my sarcasm didn't shine through in my post. I've been to London. I've always thought the whole "world class city" stuff was hilarious. That was the argument used to fleece the citizens for a new arena and I usually replied, "Yeah, because Paris and London are known for their basketball arenas."
And Charlotte's dinky little train is to the Tube what a wading pool is to Lake Michigan.
but here's the thing- Charlotte should aspire to be a world class city given that it's already a business destination and it has very desirable climate, etc
saying, I'll buy a plane ticket or drive up 95 sets the city back like 30 years
LOL I had to chuckle too when I saw that "headline" plastered on the news portion of Yahoo and Google. With what is going on, this really takes top billing?
And waahhh, our fair little city ain't snuff enuff for London!
