downtown charlotte is extremely vibrant and dense with foot traffic during the day... There are restaurants, retail, museums, gyms,everywhere... I find it interesting that everytime charlotte is mentioned all the atl posters come
Out to bash...
I'm not a "bashing ATL poster"; I used to live in Charlotte and may be moving back. Every city has lots of foot traffic during the day. Charlotte still shouldn't be mentioned along with the likes of NOLA, Charleston, and Savannah.
I can see what u mean however of that is the case then mone of the four cities mentioned meets the criteria for a vibrant downtown
Among southern cities, I would say they meet the criteria. The most vibrant in the South? Probably not...but the poll isn't about what the "most vibrant city in the South" is...it's which one of these Southern cities has the most foot traffic in the city. Ergo, no other Southern cities matter.
I voted for Atlanta, during my time at GSU I would find myself walking everywhere. One of my favorite walks was from GSU to Arts Center MARTA station. Walking down Peachtree should be on every Atlantans bucket list there is some really nice things on that street. (I also caused a accident on that walk but that a story for another day.)

Exactly.
With that said, of these four cities, Atlanta takes the cake.
