You ever stayed in Charlotte? If, so what would you say are the biggest differences and similarities between CLT and RAL?

I know you saved mad money making that move. Are there any walkable neighborhoods out there? So where I live now in Edina, Mn. I can walk to Target, the library, mall, grocery store, etc.

I never lived in Charlotte but visited. It's closer to Atlanta by 3 hours, it's bigger than Raleigh but honestly I can't say aside from that that it's any better than Raleigh-Durham. Just personal preference I guess.

NC stand up!

Triad being 97 out of 150 I’ll take it

I live in the RTP currently (Research Triangle Park, basically the triangle of Durham, Raleigh and Chapel Hill) and originally from Charlotte. I’ve never heard of this Durham-Chapel Hill grouping in my life, if they gonna group em, why not just say RTP?

then they wouldn't rank so high.

 

[Noriega]

Every city on that list has a major university or is a tech hub , not surprising

Is anyone here familiar with high school sports in the area? What's the best school for Athletics in Raleigh, Durham, etc? Mainly basketball, but athletics in general.
