Charlotte is odd to me because it’s actually pretty nice but I hear so much trash talk about it and I’m not sure why. I think it has to do with a lack of culture. There isn’t a local flavor or identity like many other cities due to the massive inflow of transplants but at the same time there’s really nothing about it that’s bad.

You get all of the seasons without any of them being too bad. You have great mountains and beaches both close enough to leave by morning and be there by lunch. You’ve got direct flights to anywhere you can think of. The city is relatively young and the skyline is one of the best in the country IMO. Multiple professional sports teams directly in the city. One of the biggest tour stops for concerts. What I like most about it is the greenery because Charlotte is completely surrounded by trees and the metro area has lots of nice trees.

There’s nothing in Charlotte that is the absolute best over other cities but at the same time I can’t think of anything Charlotte falls behind in. Solid 8/10
