I absolutely love this video. I'm originally from DC, lived in Hampton Roads, and Richmond Virginia areas. The crime and congestion has city-ed me out!! I moved to a small town (less than 3K population) in NC in June 2022, and I agree with you. It's easy to get around, but finding good food after 10pm is a hunt, lol. I will be 50y/o next year, still work, and I wouldn't change it for anything. I'm in my hit the road era. I love that I can get to DMV in 4hrs. Savannah and Charleston in 5hrs. Fly out of RDU to NOLA easily. And... of course, drive to Charlotte in 3.5 hours (I'm off I-95). I went to Charlotte for the first time, my bday in 2014, and had a blast. I've been 4x's total and always enjoyed the city. Even with so many spots that I loved closing after the pandemic. This was a great comparison of Charlotte to big cities and why Charlotte thinks they can hang with the best of them (H-town, ATL, DMV, NYC). Keep up the great work, and thanks for sharing!! 💚
I moved to Charlotte from New Jersey in 2007. I have literally seen the city grow. It is now a transplant city and I think that is the reason why Charlotte doesn't have an identity. Charlotte is a chill city and not a party city. If you want a party vibe I would suggest Atlanta. I believe Charlotte has it areas that are catered to different age ranges.
@EJIMANnenaNgozi The identity was already established before the transplants got their. When I think Atlanta you got Freaknik, soul food, black Hollywood, black entrepreneurs, the Olympics etc. Houston I've never been but I heard about the car culture, well off black people. All I knew about Charlotte was the Hornets, Panthers, and being called the baby Atlanta.
It's between Houston and Charlotte for a long while now. I'm always hearing about only Charlotte prices going up not Houston. I'm a spoken word artist, thinking Houston would be better as well.
Charlotte has a lot of transplants and that can be why the culture is the way that it is . Plus most of Charlotte in the city parts felt like a ghost town when I was there, too many college kids where I was.
I’m originally from NC, but not Charlotte. Ya’ll did a great job of breaking down Charlotte. People ask me all the time why I didn’t move to Charlotte as I’m from NC. This video explains it! I use to spend a lot of time in Charlotte back in the college days. It’s a nice city, but it’s just not there for me! I agree a lot with the sister in green! Im in Texas as well. Last thing, Charlotte is too expensive to live for what it is. Had it been cheaper than Atlanta, Houston and Dallas, people would consider it more. Those cities offer way more for basically the same price and Dallas and Houston have no state income tax!
I watched the replay and I’m still going to give Charlotte a chance. Houston is too much for me. I’m not a party person and I need to ease my way into the Texas vibes and heat! Charlotte is a good starter place for me. I’m from Delaware so anywhere would be a good upgrade for me. Nice video ladies 🙌🏾❤

Facts! So the question is how come other transplant cities like Houston and Atlanta have an identity?

Great point! Hope your good. Its been a while 😃
That's so true, it's harder to move when you get older.
Detroit has the Black scene Ngozi, because everyone is Black there.
Yes it does but we were speaking to professional black scene. Im not sure if they have that

Happy you enjoyed it! Yes the salaries in NC dont add up considering the cost of living.
Good show
Glad you enjoyed it!
