raleigh>Greensboro too….

Why dont we say we are better than other cities in the state too? Is it because we know they are smaller and we are better? Or is it that we think and wish we were better than Charlotte?

Should be Raleigh>Richmond. Raleigh isnt in the same league as Charlotte.

Don’t tell anyone, but our art is better because of tax dollars (that a lot of it comes from charlotte tax payers). If you forgot, raleigh is the state capitol. money tends to stay here where they live. dont tell anyone I told you though. it is a shame that we forget that sometimes. but i agree, it works better for us.

Well Charlotte had a gold mine, so i think that would be an unfair advantage! Plus the main reason for growth in raleigh is the RTP.
