a few nightlife scenes in downtown greensboro










This is no slight toward Gboro, but I've experienced nightlife in both cities, there is no comparison. Raleigh hands down. Greensboro nightlife is more comparable to Durham IMO. Raleigh is also a lot larger than Gboro.

Thanks to everybody that responded to my inquiry. I guess both are good cities. I will just apply to jobs in both cities and see what happens.

It would help if you told the OP why they both suck. You're not much help otherwise.

Greensboro has a higher female to male ratio (UNC-G) The coffee shop on Tate St. is a good morning destination, if you are into live theatre, there is a lot to offer and it is a lot easier to navigate around in GSO than Raleigh, tis better laid out. and the coliseum draws great talent on a regular basis. The Arts tend to be a big thing in GSO as well, and street festivals, et al. It also does not have a high Politician/sq mile density. For some reason, this always made me feel safer.

That's funny. Brooks Brothers have been in the Raleigh area for probably about 25 years. I've never considered them upscale however.

Greensboro was larger than Raleigh up until 1985. Since then, Raleigh has left G'boro in the dust. 400,000 vs 260,000, not to mention the size of Raleigh's (UA) Urban area is much larger by almost 300,000 people...

Raleigh also has a much larger singles scene, and is also rated one of the top single's spots in the nation, hence the reason there is more night life in Raleigh.
