Charlotte's not weird enough.

Been living in Charlotte, NC for a little over 3 years now and one thing has been consistent since living here. That would be the growth of the city and growth means construction. LOTS OF IT!!

But thats not the problem. I like a growing city. If I didn’t, then I would live some place else. But if you’re going to build a city, then be a city. You see, Charlotte doesn’t have any culture. When you don’t have culture, the city just isn’t weird enough.

When visiting other large city’s around the country like Austin, Nashville, San Fran ext. you know what you are getting into. But here, its just restaurants. I’m not alone in not wanting to see more restaurants open up. We want to see entrepreneurs and creative people here making cool things to do.

Charlotte is a banking city with many of the headquarters here like Bank Of America, Wells Fargo and 5\3rd bank. So of course we are recruiting and attracting bankers and finance people, but to keep people here we need to get weird and build our culture.
