This a small fraction of our activities too :wow:

Frankie's is in Brier Creek, we have ziplining in multiple spots. No amusement park so maybe that makes or breaks it for a mf on the fence 🤣...

People say the same shyt about both, "there's nothing to do here". Those people not even trying, if you get active in either one there's plenty shyt to do...

But they both still new to the "big city" landscape, so for many people it's gonna take awhile for perception to catch up to reality. Both Charlotte and Raleigh really just started getting national recognition like this in the last 15-20 years, most adults across the US grew up without these two not being considered anything special. Charlotte is in the same weight class as Denver, Baltimore, and Orlando but those cities have higher esteem because they've been recognized as big cities longer...

Haven't been to Denver or Orlando yet but I have been to Baltimore and I think Charlotte's a better city. But Baltimore been popping longer, people know it better...

Raleigh is in the same weight class as Jacksonville, Providence and Milwaukee, but again these are more established cities, so even though Raleigh is the same size as these cities people don't yet think of it that way. Haven't been to Milwaukee or Jacksonville but I've been to Providence, I do think it's a really underrated and dope city. Raleigh is on that level though...

It's gonna take awhile for perception to match reality but I think more people are aware of what both cities offer, as each year goes by...

Man ….. everyone knows it as “Raleigh-Durham”

Most people outside of Charlotte never heard of Gastonia or Concord.


Hell I’m from Winston….. grew up there and didn’t know about a Gastonia till I moved down here :mjgrin:


But you can’t escape them Durmites…. It’s in y’all DNA:umad:

My 2 roommate from college…. One lives in Durham and the other in Raleigh and they like 15 mins apart :mjlol:
shyt I knew about Gastonia before moving here and said I’m scared of that place. When I moved here and had to go there for things.. my suspicions were correct lol

I will try to be out there more though…. My nephew recently got spotlighted for being one of the best HS Linebackers in Raleigh.

I know he finna show out this his Sr year.

Yall got young Patrick Willis in yall city…. Yall better recognize
Where he go to school at? I didn't go to school here so I have no allegiance to anywhere but I'm two miles from Sanderson High and both Millbrook and Broughton are within 5 miles. Where my daughters live currently, they are zoned for South Garner High. I may entertain checking out some high school athletics this year just for the fukk of it...
