Don't waste your time. If he thinks Atlanta "looks old" and is thus somehow lower than Charlotte, then he has no choice but to think the same thing of our nation's greatest urban centers like NYC, Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, etc. It just makes the teeny-bopper's position look even more ridiculous.
What I dont understand is why the moderators havent deleted the comments off here. I know i shoudlnt be wasting my time I believe they are doing this on purpose.
all of those photos are VERY lovely and made it hard to choose, and although both cities have very nice skylines i had to go with Atlanta simply for a wider variety in architecture and the height and density that it has to offer.

The comments aren't off-topic or offensive, just very uninformed. As such, they are allowed.
No sir, Atlanta and Charlotte are not on the same level and Atlanta and Charlotte are NOT equal. Atlanta and Charlotte do not have the same amenities either. Atlanta also has pro hockey, the world's largest aquarium, a zoo, MLK historic district, more than one upscale mall (SouthPark is our only upscale mall), the world's busiest airport, a bunch of museums that we can't come close to matching, etc. And Atlanta does have NASCAR: Atlanta Motor Speedway. I don't think you know much about Atlanta at all with the things you're saying. There's not much, if anything, that Charlotte has that Atlanta doesn't have, but there's a bunch of stuff Atlanta has that Charlotte doesn't have. A metro of 1.7 million (or 2.2 million if you use CSA stats) versus one of 5.5 million are not on the same level, no matter how you slice it.
Unfortunately, it's uninformed statements like this by youngsters who aren't very well-traveled or knowledgeable about things like this that give Charlotte a bad name in the eyes of some Atlantans. Just let it be known that it's not adult Charlotteans who are making these wild claims.
I didnt at all mean as Populations just that each can contradict the other with city proper and metro then I will mistake I did not know that ATL had NASCAR okay. Also the other things you mentioned such as malls thats all great and glorious but CLT also has things ATL dont. So please READ what I post and done acclaim me of making assumptions AKA putting words in my mouth. ATL and CLT are very nice but they can all contradict one another someway somehow.

Name 20 things charlotte has thats Atlanta doesnt have.
But proportionally speaking, Charlotte's skyline has more newer buildings than downtown Atlanta's, which is why most people say that Charlotte has a "new" skyline. NYC and Chicago have added even more buildings than Atlanta, but their skylines aren't "new" because they have a ton of historic buildings that blend with the new. That situation didn't really exist in Charlotte, so the majority of the skyline is indeed "new."
Atlanta has it's share of new buildings as well. They just don't stand out as much because rather than being ganged up together as they are in Charlotte, they are separated from one another by older buildings.
