I meanā¦ Iād argue Raleigh has a HELL OF A LOT more beige than Charlotte lmao. & Charlotte has 1000% better architecture than us. Someone else said āCharlotte is the Applebees of citiesā and I just have to thinkā¦ what does that make us then? McDonalds?? LMAO we gotta realize that Raleigh doesnāt exactly have a whole lot going on, either, compared to other cooler cities of our size/slightly larger. And thatās ok, weāre getting thereā¦ I just simply donāt understand how our hating on Charlotte helps with that. And letās be real here, if anything it only makes Raleigh look like the jealous/insecure one

Raleigh definitely doesnāt have a South End.
Theyāre different places. Glad to have both evolvingā¦
Itās a regional rivalry kinda thing. Probably always will be.
With better frequency of rail service, Iād probably go more to visit friends / see shows / events.
Maybe thereās better symbiosis forthcoming as the megalopolis continues to merge.

We have colleges, tech, and cultural institutions. They have pro sports, banks, and skyscrapers. We each have a different half of what one big city would have. I like our half better.

UNC Charlotte, the Charlotte tech scene and the Mint Musuem/Charlotte Symphony <<< Duke/UNC/State, RTP + Raleigh + Durham tech hub, NCMA/NC Symphony. Like, by a lot. Itās like saying that because we have a couple small banks headquartered here, we have financial services too.
aaaand weāre wildly off topic

Also, UNC Charlotte is trying their best to become NC State #2 lol
So, some of these things arenāt in Raleigh. Iām just saying. If you have to lump the entire Triangle together to prove how much Charlotte sucks, perhaps we really do have some insecurity 
ā¦ anyway, I like Raleigh, I like Durham, I like Charlotte, I like Asheville. Lots to love in NC. Leo gonna have a good time moving all these comments to the āOther citiesā sub hahaha. Back on track! Perhaps Iāll take the train from Union Station at the Union West complex to visit Charlotte, soon

Charlotteās city limits are enormous. The Triangle is about the same size and population. Just comparing it to Raleigh city limits is apples and oranges - going to see a UNC game or a show at DPAC is something you do if you live here.

Having the biggest (and best) university in the state near downtown is something Raleigh will always have over Charlotte.
It changes the character of downtown for the better. Itās younger and funkier.
And it has to be saidā¦ as pretty as Charlotteās skyline is, I always notice how empty the streets and sidewalks are in drone videos.

I already gave you guys some ideas how we become better looks like nobody read.
That right we have East End, Glenwood, and City Market, and Downtown South. Which are all important places for development entertainment, and Leisure.
Yep. But no rail at any of them.
