Well I don't know of any city Charlotte's size that has the nightlife spread throughout the metro as opposed to having the bulk within the city itself. I mean you can find stuff to do in the outlying towns, but there's not a whole bunch of people driving from the city to those spots.
There alot of people driving to Decatur that's where I party because everything stays open till 6am.. There are alot clubs and bars in Decatur
Yea the closing of Buckhead Village did change the seen in Atlanta a bit. Like I said in another thread, Atlanta nightlife is in a bit of transition right now. Midtown is becoming the new center of nightlife ,but the economy has slowed the progress. I think this is a much better location than Buckhead. It's right in the middle of everything. Buckhead does have The Streets of Buckhead coming, so it's not dead. It will be a different vibe out there though.
If your talking about a party district being slow in progress I would say yes, I your sayng nightlife as a whole then I would say no it's not in a transition there is so many clubs, strip clubs bar throughout the city and metro. I went o Jay Z Mansion party that's was after the concert the party was hot hot hot

Yes I was mainly talking about a party district. Atlanta still has plenty to do all over. I heard Beyonce and Jay and some other folks were at Stats the day after. I didn't make it to the mansion party, but I was at a house party for the Super bowl with a bunch of celebs. It was crazy! I bet that Jay Z party was crazy too.
From an outsider's perspective, NC and GA seem like two peas in a pod.
The main difference, I'd say is, Atlanta. It's huge, and it's really the only truly "major" city in the core area of the southern states (not counting Florida and Texas). Of course, North Carolinians may not envy the traffic and crime that come with hosting such a behemoth city.
The other difference, of course, is that NC has a fair number of mid-sized metros: Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham, and Greensboro/Winston-Salem, and then some sizable smaller cities too. Georgia is pretty much just Atlanta and the rest of the state.

There are other places in GA who are growing, have the large interstates, tall building downtown, upscale retail, etc. I-20 in Richmond county runs through West Augusta. I-520 runs through West Augusta, South Augusta, and East Augusta. Before it turns into I-520 palmetto pkwy in North Augusta, SC. The interstates don't run through downtown. After 6:30 it runs through alot of the interchange.
Good Senairo but end the end of it all The Lamborghini what still be on top because its equipt with more and its more powerful. thats the point we are making.
In my mind I was picturing Atlanta as the Corvette and NYC/Chi as the Lambo. Anyway, if the speed limit in most towns is in the 35-55mph range, and on the interstate 55-70mph, do you really need all that power in the Lamborghini? I use this as an analogy to what I will deem extra ammenities offered by cities. But, IMO if you can afford a Lamborghini, why settle for a Vette? I'm just making an argument that a Vette is way more than sufficient to handle the everyday tasks of driving. Same with, in this case Charlotte vs Atlanta or smaller metro vs larger metro, the smaller metros have way more than the essentials of life, but if you can afford (however you may want to interpret this analogy) a bigger metro by all means go for it.
Greensboro/Winston-Salem and Raleigh/Durham are four diffrent cities.
Augusta metro was 540k in 2008. Which is higher than every metro in North Carolina except Charlotte, Raleigh, and Greensboro.
Have any of these people who make these comments. Actually visited cities outside of Atlanta recently.
I get what you're saying about other metros in GA. I guess with how huge Atlanta is it kind of overshadows all other metros in the state. Savannah is another city that does well. It is so drastically different and offers ammenities that Atlanta doesn't offer so it also stands out. But Augusta, Macon, Columbus also deserve mention. As well as smaller towns and communities because these areas also have unique flavor to offer that shouldn't be overshadowed as well.
