Peyton, is it my imagination, or are the only people here comparing Charlotte to Atlanta a couple of people from Atlanta?

I work uptown - please come down during the day - any day - and tell what you see sitting along Tryon from Discovery place to Starbucks. And one has gotta to love the homeless crowd on the side street on the Library.

I was actually just in that area last week and I swear - I didn't see any homeless folks, but maybe it was the time of day or maybe I am in la la land (wh/ is a real possibility, lol).
Again, not doubting what you have experienced and I apologize if it sounded like I was being disrespectful.

LOL, my thoughts entirely.

Five Points - Last week. Svenada Store. I am just telling my experience of working in Atlanta and working in Charlotte. DO NOT TAKE IT PERSONAL. I am just tired of the Charlotte (on N.Tryon) homeless being so aggressive. I am sure there are parts of Atlanta (Intown) where one would be harressed by the Homeless. It just did not happen to me. And if you read my thread, what I said was for Center City/Uptown to be so small (which it is) the homeless problem is troublesome.
Right Charlotte has a smaller Downtown and smaller metro.. Every major citites has aggressive pandhandlers.. If

Again . . . why do you keep on with the "compete" thing? Atlanta is Atlanta and loved/not loved for what Atlanta is or isn't. That has nothing to do with Charlotte.
Atlanta could just as well be compared to Miami - it would make as much (or little) sense as comparing ATL to CLT.
Not only that . . . NC and GA are very different states.
because the op isn't lying the 6 months I stayed in Charlotte that's all I heard people saying Charlotte is the next Atlanta.. This was after I told them where I moved from... Alot of people in Charlotte praise Atlanta.. And some hate Atlanta... The reason why I said sister city is because there are alot of people from that area that come to Atlanta to advantage of the things Charlotte does not offer..

Interesting. I've lived here for 3+ years and I've never heard anyone outside City Data compare the two cities.
Perhaps it was just a way to strike up conversation with you after you told them you were from ATL?
I've been to ATL and it has some wonderful things. However, I'm a small town guy and dealing with ATL traffic every day would drive me looney. If CLT turns into "the next Atlanta", I'll move. Seriously.
