It's humid as hell too. You really wanna deal with that?

No you don't. Go to Texas.

I was in Greenville last year and was like... Oh WOW. This shyt is definitely on the rise.

I could see a future train from Charlotte to atlanta having to go through Greenville for sure

There has actually been rumors of that actually being the case one day. From around the Boston area to Atlanta with one of the stopping points being at the GSP (Greenville-Spartanburg) Airport.

Wouldn't be surprised if the Carolinas become swing states in the next decade or two.

Just thinking of some loose parallels here:

•Charlotte is clearly the largest, most alpha city in Carolina, akin to Houston in Tejas, even though many people prefer other cities in those states to Charlotte and Houston...

The most legitimate "big city" vibe you can find in either place is via Charlotte or Houston...

•Raleigh-Durham is like a miniature Dallas-Fort Worth. Just the general layout and infrastructure of the two regions, Raleigh being in the more Dallas role, Durham as Fort Worth, Cary as the Arlington of The Triangle...

•Charleston is the fun, weird, eclectic, fan favorite city for white people in Carolina, alike Austin...

I think there are other loose parallels to be drawn, but ultimately we all know both states are their own thing. I do think the Triangle/Metroplex comp is a highly interesting one...
