I know there’s no Atlanta envy in Charlotte (and why on Earth would there be?)
But I was raised in Atlanta and have been to, in & all around Charlotte more times than I can count and it has always felt just like Atlanta to me (or more like what Atlanta was while I was younger).
So many similarities that it’s like Atlanta 2.0 (keeping in mind the 2.0 version is usually an upgrade).
I also realize & recognize that for all the similarities, Charlotte is still its own in its own right. Seems like every time I find myself there, at some point I feel like “man, it reminds me of old Atlanta.”
Was purely just a fun brother/sister city jab...
