Hey /trv/, I'm going to be visiting my grandparents in the

Charlotte is devoid of culture. Go to Carrowinds maybe? Asheville is much better.

Yeah I've been seeing in my research that almost everything interesting in North Carolina is either to the west in Asheville/Hickory or Raleigh and Greensboro.

Carrowinds sounds cool, my cousin and I were already planning a day there.
Is there really nothing more stimulating in CLT? No good food or drink, no festivals, no sights, no anything? Fuck why is the South so shit?

I've been in Charlotte for 9 years now. It's a nice city, but pretty bland. At least there's a respectable culinary scene here thanks to a Johnson & Wales university being in the city and lots of wealth due to being a banking center. If you want "culture" the Mint Museum and Levine Museum are pretty good, but you could see both in a day. If you're young (between 18-24), there are a lot of breweries popping up and some really good drinking spots, a nice beer garden, etc.

Raleigh is full of hipsters, but not too bad. And whoever told you Greensboro is somewhere to check out should be shot... place is a pathetic armpit.

Asheville is the shit, my favorite place to hang on NC. Full of interesting people (although it's like Berkeley East). But excellent breweries, tons to do, music and food/wine/beer festivals out the ass, and of course great outdoors related activities.

ps- Carrowinds is closed in the winter.

Check out NoDa, plaza midwood area, music factory. Charlotte has no culture. Been here 27 years.

you should hang out with your grandparents before they croak it

Went for a job interview in August. Trust this Anon. Everyone seems to like the place but for for "weather", "cost of living" or "ease of life"...which is a sort of sales pitch...I guess.

Of all the cities I've ever traveled to, Charlotte is far and away my least favorite.
Fuck this place and fuck Cam Newton.

2 suggestions for ya friendo:

1. Leave burgerland and gain some real perspective on the world.

2. Post in /ck/ or wherever you Yanks congregate.

Intra USA trips =/= travel

What a fucking pretentious comment. The US is as diverse as any country, from New Orleans and the creole culture to the wilderness of Montana and Wyoming. We have some of the finest dining in the world in our major cities and some of the largest industries in the world from Hollywood to agriculture.

I get the whole "hate America" thing is "cool" for people like you, but it really shows how close-minded and ignorant you are.
