In terms of density, growth, amount of suburbs, local culture, sports, etc. Which would you say is the most similar area to the Charlotte metro?

I've heard Indianapolis mentioned before, but I'm not as familiar with that city to say one way or the other.

Otherwise, it's somewhere between Greenville and Atlanta.

Charlotte is much nicer than ATL IMHO! I guess you can say it's similar in some ways but so different in other ways

Why this again? Atlanta is so far above Charlotte it is not similar at all. I wish the moderators would close this, because it will turn in to nothing but a Charlotte VS Atlanta thread, again and again and again.

They are both nice places but they are different for sure. Charlotte's downtown is bigger and set up differently. The nice thing about Greenville is that the downtown has a main strip, that goes on for a couple miles, with restaurants, stores, bars, hotels, etc. Charlotte has plenty options as well. Charlotte has a transit system. We have trolleys downtown. Charlotte is more city and Greenville is more of a big town if that makes sense.

Cities don't have to be the exact same size to have similarities you know.

The two cities do have many similarities, but they also have several obvious differences. For once, can you look through a set of objective lenses without getting in your feelings and getting all huffy as far as Charlotte goes?

Well clearly Atlanta is "above" Charlotte in terms of being in a higher tier in just about every category you can think of. However that doesn't mean there aren't similarities between them because there are several.
