Rock's Preferred City Series (PCS): Charlotte or Raleigh?

[Tribal Outkast]

Charlotte low key got some of the finest black women in the country... lotta transplants from VA/DC.

Most of them went to A&T. I’m guessing it happened, but I never met an ugly chick that went to A&T.. they all been fine

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Black Charlotte's social scene emulates Atlanta's, from the lounge and club culture, to Charlotte hip hop, to the way Black Charlotteans dress and style. That's first of all...

Charlotte's urban fabric is a bite off so many Atlanta districts, and this isn't necessarily a bad thing---->but given Atlanta has been a major city much, much longer than Charlotte, this means Charlotte emulated Atlanta development patterns, not the other way around. If you ever went to Underground Atlanta or Atlantic Station you can see the similarities in what the Epicenter was, Ayrsley and Midtown Charlotte shopping districts, etc...

Southpark is Charlotte's version of Buckhead. South End is Charlotte's version of Five Points and Decatur. There's so many examples bro...

You're from a small city, Winston-Salem. I don't expect similarities to pop out at you, Charlotte probably feels Atlanta-sized to you there's a ton if similarities between Charlotte and Atlanta, but the contrasts are what make Charlotte, for me, a better and more enjoyable city...

Hmmmmm

 

[Stick Up Kid]

Both Charlotte and Raleigh are Top 15 cities for finest black women and Top 10 for black people in general!

I was shocked when I was out there in 2015... im use to Jersey/Philly chicks..... never been around girls that didnt wanna catch a fade first.

Them chicks out in NC too, don't get it twisted but given you were a visitor rather than a local, those chicks couldn't find you...

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Nope….. just spoke with an ATL nicca who wishes to not be named and he said ATL and Charlotte are nothing alike


Case Closed

[Bryan Danielson]

How TF you even do something like that

If you lived down here….. you would be shocked by the fukkery you’d see on The Plaza and Sugar Creek any day of the week after dark

 

[murksiderock]

Yoooooo lol


shyt like this never happens in Raleigh

It doesn't and I think most Raleighites wouldn't see shyt like this as a badge of honor, "like damn Charlotte is lit!" Everybody in Carolina knows Charlotte is a little more hood and rough around tge edges than Raleigh. Raleigh is sophisticated hustle, Charlotte a little more rough than that ...

Yoooooo lol

Told you, yall got 24/7 fukkery. But I wasn’t trying to hit the

Where in Upstate NY? I lived in Elmira and Albany, stomped thru all them Upstate cities at one point or other. Met plenty of people with Carolina ties, but even more with Florida ties...

Poughkeepsie, I just say upstate to people unfamiliar to the area but you definitely are.

It's nothing like Atlanta lol. Atlanta has a 100 times better nightlife and social scene all together.
