Give Me the Low Down on Charlotte, NC


NYPantherFan

Recommended Posts

Speak to similar cities. I've been around the world a few times and have visited cities everywhere.

 

So have I. Spent many years overseas actually. Neat.

 

The question is, in your exciting world travels, what does Charlotte lack in culture compared to other mid-sized cities? You seem to have trouble articulating an answer despite your passion but would rather talk about taxes and me being jealous and defensive. I promise I don't have any vested interest in your like or dislike of the city.

*sob*

 

Okay, you win, I will never ever again say anything negative about your city unless I have your permission. Will you please stop picking on me now? I should have known better than to think anyone would be allowed to have a difference of opinion...

 

I'm sorry... *sob*

 

(and you may want to check the populations of San Francisco and Boston, you know, those cities I mentioned earlier in comparison to Charlotte? Yeah, Boston has a smaller population than Charlotte and SF is slightly more, still very comparable by census standards).

You may have a point on the music scene. But you can pop in the double door anytime for something good.

 

Also we have bad strip clubs

 

Looking ahead for the city...

 

Once the North Tryon area gets gentrified as per the city plans, there will be a really nice light rail connection from South End to Noda which I think will be one of the things that really cracks the center city open at a pedestrian scale.  The Chantily-Plaza Mid area and around Scott Ave. in South End are really nice pockets with cool stuff.  

 

If the city had their own place like an 18th St. Mall, U St., 6th Street, Beale St., etc., that would really change a lot of opinions.  The re-done area around the old Midtown Square has a ton of potential connecting to Freedom Park and the greenway system.

You can't be serious if you think Boston and SF are the same size as Charlotte. You're comparing their center cites to the greater Charlotte area of you think they're anywhere close. That's just common sense of you've been to those cities...like you said you have.

Read the census.

 

Just as Charlotte's numbers don't include Matthews, Pineville, Concord, etc., SF and Boston don't include their respective suburbs.

 

But yeah, you gotta be right, so keep plugging away.

You're using the census to tell me Charlotte is the same size as SF and Boston?

Lol...good call.

Come on man...you're usually a smart poster. I know those numbers support your argument but trying to convince us that Charlotte is the same size as Boston and SF based on just total population is a joke. I know you know that, too.

Next convince us that Columbus and El Paso are both bigger cities than Boston and SF.

ok you've lost me on this page.

If you aren't going by population, then what are you using to determine how "large" a city is? Square mileage?

If so, Charlotte would destroy both San Francisco and Boston.

I believe you are confusing population with population density. Charlotte is much more spread out than those cities. Those other cities basically have the same population in 25% of the land area.

eta: Charlotte is just shy of 300 square miles while SF and Boston are both under 50 square miles. So, those cities have the same population in 1/6th of the land area.

Neither of those mean anything. Cities are not simply defined by the population within arbitrary borders. Area is useless as well.

 

Metro areas are a much better measure:

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
