They have similar feels today in their cores. Both cities were planned in similar ways and along the fall line with similar geographies/topographies, and even the patterns of development and their poorer neighborhoods have similar feels. Twins they are not, but driving through parts of the core of the city I certainly saw unmistakable glimpses of Columbia. The biggest differences would be in the suburban areas though.
My vote in this poll went to Charlotte, but as I've said, I think Raleigh is best described as a Charlotte/Columbia hybrid.
