Urban vs. Suburban: A Charlotte Culture Clash
Last month, Charlotte Magazine printed a feature about the two separate 'cities' that Charlotte has become over the past couple of decades. There exists an "urban" Charlotte, and a "suburban" Charlotte, and the lifestyles of the two are very different - and are sometimes hostile towards each other. We'll talk about some of the specific cultural differences between city-dwellers and suburbanites, and the pros and cons of each lifestyle. We'll also talk about how the traditional cul-de-sac heavy suburbs are turning more urban.
