Actually, Charlotte like most places is what you make of it! I've lived in many cities in the US and overseas and have at times been bored in Atlanta, Tampa, Philly and DC to name a few. The only place that kept me constantly going was Miami but, I had friends that hated it there. It mainly depends on your social circle and what you like to do for entertainment. You'll always have people trying to escape where they grew up or lived many years looking to move to greener pastures. Charlotte just happens to be that greener pasture for many African Americans while others are looking for something else.
