I like Charlotte precisely because it's NOT Atlanta....I don't know why Georgia folk think we all want to live there 

exactly. ATL is literally going to be a totally different in 15-20. The dudes who are fixated on night clubs and worrying about the LGBT community in ATL are the cats who wouldnt even be able to survive in ATL lol.Its clear who hasn't visited the cities they talk about. The idea that the A is just one giant nightlife/club with strippers and not one of the fastest growing economies in the WORLD and on pace to be a top 10 global city![]()
exactly. NYC is a great city sure, but Black folks dont have no pull in that town compared to other groups. Yeah you have a few wealthy blacks, but when it comes to who runs that city Blacks are non factors compared to Atlanta where you literally have Blacks sitting at the table with the real shot callers.
I just don't see blacks being able to click up in NYC and make power moves without extreme push backs from Asians, Jewish, Italian,etc
But Black deal makers are in Chicago.

It must be a New York thing, because Black people have always come up in Chicago. Don't get the shyt you hear on the news confused with regular Black people in that town.
So the reason people are talking about Atlanta (not really Charlotte) is because of migration when said migration is the only reason people talked about NYC and Chicago....intelligent argument you got me bro
And outside of food and its rap scene, I never hear people talk about the Chi as a travel or moving destination. Its going to be another rust belt casualty in a few decades.
Northern Cities like Chicago still have larger economies than a place like Atlanta and therefore greater opportunities economically.
So millions of people are mass migrating from the rust belt/east coast for no reason at all![]()
It happens. Just like millions of people migrated from the South to the North to begin with.
Mind you now I relocated back to my home state of Tennessee from Chicago and I spend a lot of time in Nashville and Memphis. Nashville is a really nice city, but I would never put it in the same class as Chicago. I just don't see it, because Chicago has much more diversity. Nashville is a really nice city though and I lump it in there with Charlotte and Atlanta.

Not at all breh. I do consider it to be a mostly "blue collar" city but there are waaay worse places. The South Side and East Side are areas that give Greensboro that rep but overall its mostly nice.
This is a pic of a house in the Thorpe Square neighborhood where my girl used to stay. Mostly black hood right on the outskirts of the east side.![]()
I cant even name one rapper from Charlotte...lame ass city
