Charlotte Is Better Than Atlanta

[PhotonGuy]

This might be random but since this is the Lcoker Room Bar & Grill it's the place to say random stuff. Charlotte is better than Atlanta, it's bigger, got more stuff to do, and an all around better city.

Marta is pretty handy. I worked in Atlanta for about 6 months at one point and really appreciated how extensive the train system was.

Never been to charlotte so I can’t comment on that. What did you like doing in Charlotte?

We go to a tournament in Lake Norman every spring. Charlotte and it's greater metro area is nice. My only complaint is the traffic layout and flow. I lived in Chicago for 4 years, and the traffic was never as chaotic and congested as it is in Charlotte. I admit it may just be that I don't have the familiarity with Charlotte like I did with Chicago though.

Underground Atlanta used to be a fun place to visit. Now it is a seedy dump. Being from the south it saddens me to say that Atlanta is just as rude and dirty as any city I have ever visited. Extremely bad traffic.
Back in the day, it was a tournament hot bed, and we would be there 6-8 times/year. Not to mention doing a lot of work in and around the Greater Atlanta area. Don't get me started on trying to drive out of Atlanta on a Friday.

The last time I was in Atlanta was for a convention, it's a nice city and all but Charlotte is bigger and you can do more.

Among some stuff they've got a really nice science museum and they've got great movie theaters.

As for me, I run a business there, I own a town house that I rent out.

So maybe you should visit Charlotte, you might like it better than Atlanta.

Public transit in CLT is more limited, unless that has changed drastically since I worked there.

We have been to several tournaments in the Charlotte & Raleigh/Durham areas over the years. Usually very pleasant.

Is Charlotte bigger??

Yes, it's more than twice the size of Atlanta in terms of square miles.

 

[Gerry Seymour]

Yes, it's more than twice the size of Atlanta in terms of square miles.

I was looking at it earlier, and that's not true of the greater metropolitan area, which is how we tend to experience cities. Both have sprawled widely, and are similar sizes. I suspect the city of Atlanta is smaller because of the way counties are set in Georgia - the counties there are very small, and that probably led to Atlanta not annexing as much territory into the city limits.

Yes, it's more than twice the size of Atlanta in terms of square miles.

Mecklenburg county is only 20-sq/miles larger. Near identical population.
That surprised me.
