I just touched on this last month, remember?
In Carolina you'll have people here and there, some saying Raleigh is better than Charlotte, some saying Charlotte is better than Raleigh, and you got a contingent that swears Greensboro is better than both...
But to most mf's who come from outta state, or outside the Carolinas, a LOT of people tell you both cities are wack. I lived in Charlotte and vividly remember people calling Charlotte trash and boring and that was a decade ago...
I think it boils down to what I said. One, it's gonna take awhile for perception to reach reality with both cities. Two, comparing either city to places way bigger than them is a fool's errand...
The reality is, if you're bored in either city, you aren't really out enough. There's always something going on here in The R and there's MORE going on in Charlotte than here, so saying there's nothing to do is not an accurate representation of either place...
If someone prefers bigger cities, that's understandable. You just enjoy a city with more going on, a bigger city than these cities. For the record, I feel like Charlotte is legitimate big city status. It's not Big 3 status, it's not Houston, Atlanta, Miami status. But it is in the same ballpark of other cities people consider "big cities", like Denver, Baltimore, and Orlando. If those are big cities, Charlotte is unquestionably on that level and caliber of city...
But there are cities bigger than Denver and Baltimore and Orlando, so if you're from somewhere bigger than those cities.....yes, Charlotte can feel small and get boring...
It's all perspective. Someone like yourself, a born and bred Carolinian from The Trey, Charlotte probably looks like Chicago to you
jk bruh, had to throw that in there!
