Hence why I'd choose Atlanta over Charlotte.

>Why would you believe that bullshit? LOL...

I didn't believe that Charlotte was the next anything, but a lot of people in North Carolina did. I think the state has suffered from an identity crisis in general.

I'm a need you to keep up. It wasn't a critique of a specific city, it was a critique of the state in general. Georgia is too conservative and churchy, too. But unlike Georgia, North Carolina doesn't have a city that I'd want to live in.

It seemed to me that ATL was more insulated from GA's conservative culture than Charlotte was insulated from North Carolina's, but maybe that has changed. I will pray for Charlotte's continued evolution.

Dry or not, Charlotte did feel slow and, at least culturally, unexceptional. Your responses to me are way more personal than anything I've stated. Perhaps living in Charlotte has made you insecure.
