I agree none really. If any it would be Miami, but I doubt it.

I don't understand a "none" answer. If there are second tier cities in the south (are there?) and some of them are better than others (are some better than others?), then it's hard to fathom that there is a such answer as "none." Does that mean that there are no 2nd tier cities in the south or does it mean that there are second tier cities but they are all perfectly equal to each other so that none is better than others?

Stick around a little while MantaRay, and you'll get what they mean. It's called pure hatred of an entire region of their own country.

You would think if they didn't have a real answer, why would they bother posting in the first place?

But until that definition comes along with the big three SC areas I also like Winston-Salem.

not to belabor the point, however, if you are in any city other than the tier one cities named, get in a car, boat, train, or plane and make a trek to any of the teir one destinations. carefully note how you feel when you arrive in their downtowns. remember what you see, and compare it to the city or cities that you left. again, regional pride as compared to that of a world view. it is a big, big, world, and the cities in the state of south carolina, the city of nashville, tn, and the city of austin, tx are not, in the context of a world view, in the running.

We're not talking about regions.

Even so, the only way those places would ever be 1st tier in the south anytime soon would be if Houston, Dallas, Atlanta and perhaps Miami didn't exist. Those are the south's 1st tier.
