Interesting stats. Wow!! Atlanta's poverty rate is over 20%!!!!!!!!!! The Atlanta population number looks odd though. I'm trying to figure out what municipality they're talking about that has a population of 865K???
Those states are way off. The Atlant Metro is alot more diverse than Charlotte metro...
Charlotte cant compete in these areas
Shopping
Nightlife
Education
global status
Food
Diversity
It doesnt need to be Like Atlanta, Charlotte needs to be Charlotte with more to do thats all....
That is all i've been trying to say. There is NOTHING to do here. The thing is....a lot of thepeople on this forum are probably older and don't care for cutting edge and exciting stuff. So Charlotte is AWESOME to them. But me being in my mid twenties where I'm use to going to Jazz Bars and spoken poetry and being able to anything I want 24/7 then I come to Charlotte there is nothing to do. Im not into Nascar. I want to be able to paint the town red, but after a week I've done everything there is to do. That is why you can't compare Charlotte to Atlanta b/c Atlanta is a MAJOR city. OK Atl is no where close to NY, but NY is a MAJOR city and so is ATLANTA. Charlotte is NOT A MAJOR CITY so the opportunities here are a lot less.
I don't just sit around and grip about how boring Charlotte is. Charlotte just doesn't have anything to appeal to me. No major events, no major world class festivals. No young professional hang out spots. For someone who is use to a fast lifestyle Charlotte is a huge 180* turn
