They both have suburbs...Reno has mountains nearby and Lake Tahoe nearby, Charlotte has Kings Mountain and Lake Norman nearby. Reno has gambling, Charlotte has lotto and a few poker nights at private suburban residences..Reno is the Biggest Little City in the World, Charlotte is the Queen City...are they similar?

Oh, yes. Just alike. In oh-so-many ways.

Just look at the skylines. Both have streets, sidewalks and buildings.

Plus, both have water shortages.

Looks like a dead-on match to me. Sister cities.

Sadly, there's no CSI:Charlotte or CSI:Reno - just another thing they have in common!

Well, while we are putting in that new aquarium to attract tourists, why not just re-route Lake Norman and put a few gambling boats in? Easy enuff . . .

Let's stop being naive...Reno has like 64 lane highways...and look look at their skyline, you can take a picture of their skyline from 4 different angles...Charlotte has like what maybe one angle...we're all living in a 2D trafficless city people!!!

Plus stars I mean hasn't Charlotte understood that we're living in the 21st century and need to put as many skyscrapers and create as much light pollution as humanly possible?

I opened this thread, hoping so much it was a joke. Thank goodness!

Reno and Charlotte, two peas in a pod. From my experience, Reno is a perfect place to chain-up for a climb through the mountains to Tahoe.

Just like Charlotte.
