Now you know how we feel over in Atlanta. It’s so annoying.. like Chawlit stop calling your “little ___” for relevance. Just grow and form your own thing lol.
In some ways Charlotte has surpassed Atlanta. I don't think anyone is Charlotte is really striving to be like Atlanta at this point. It's mostly outsiders people who have moved there that have sold themselves on Charlotte as the new or alternative to Atlanta.

Huh? Charlotte has been very successful as a city, even outperforming Atlanta in a few instances. But let's not confuse C-D spats with what happens in real life or act as though cities are actual persons. And let's not also act like there hasn't been a bit of hand-wringing in Atlanta in recent years when it comes to the smaller boomtowns like Charlotte, Nashville, Raleigh, etc. stealing a bit of its thunder.

I can't speak for everyone, but besides instances when Atlanta jobs are moved to smaller cities, I don't find other growing cities in the south to be an issue. The more growth the south has, the more destinations we'll have to travel to. We'll also likely receive more visitors also and it could drive demand for better transportation options in the south. Growth in the south as a whole will benefit Atlanta.

Absolutely, but it definitely required an adjustment on Atlanta's part to the new reality of no longer being the only real player in the game in the Southeast. In particular, the recession really shook things up and it took Atlanta a bit longer to come out of that funk. Fast-forward to today and I don't think anyone could have foreseen the national "racial reckoning" that reached a boiling point last year ultimately benefitting Atlanta in major ways, but it all came back to its unique set of strengths that it has always successfully capitalized on that was responsible for its impending comeback.
Mix of Dallas and Atlanta. I, by and large, do not agree with the Nashville comparisons; very different history, downtown feel, prominent industries, etc.
I voted Atlanta. Not being from either one, they look a lot alike to me and I think that the average person in each metro lives in a similar looking home, in a very similar looking neighborhood, with similar amenities.
I think that the same could pd be said for Charlotte and Raleigh and for me it's only the polycentric nature of the Triangle that keeps me from picking that first.
I get the comparisons to Nashville, but I think that Nashville is more entertainment oriented and maybe more rural than Charlotte.

Not more rural though lol. I think Charlotte and Atlanta are also closer in culture. I don't get the same vibe from Nashville.

Ok. I added “maybe more rural” because it only has 1,300 people per square mile in city limits. That’s pretty rural to me. Charlotte has 200,000 more people in 200 square miles less. It has to feel a bit different for the average person. Honestly they all feel somewhat rural outside of a few areas by LA standards.
