Charlotte Overview | An informative introduction to Charlotte, North Carolina

[@davidpetersen6694]

I really like Charlotte for many reasons. One reason is that (just like Atlanta) it is very easy to get to on a direct flight since their airport is a major hub for many airlines. Charlotte’s uptown (really downtown) looks very safe and inviting. Great video! You could have made this one 5 or 6 or 7 minutes long and nobody would have complained! May I suggest that you include the major universities found in each city. That would be a nice addition each time. Thanks! 😎⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@CityGeek]

Thanks for another thoughtful comment! I think including universities would be interesting so I’ll definitely take that into consideration. I’ll be honest, life is just busy right now so keeping the videos short allows me to make one every couple weeks or so. I’d love to start making longer videos in the future though 😊

[@bigbadword]

I had no idea North Carolina has so many cool cities. I've only ever been to Fayetteville... Congrats on the channel growth!

[@CityGeek]

Yeah it’s got some great cities! Thank you! It’s been fun to see it get a little more traction

[@bingo8789]

Lol Fayetteville 😆 No wonder you're just figuring out how good all the other cities are. Congrats on making it out of the ville alive.

[@Classy4514]

They don't NC Carolina doesn't have cities it has big Country TOWNS slow 😒 Country and boring 😴 now that's the truth.

[@GAURAV25855ify]

Way better then Georgia Atlanta is bogus

[@GAURAV25855ify]

@@Classy4514 what about South Carolina they got cities like a Columbia orange-burg manning Mertyle beach and Charleston and Greenville and laurens and Spartansburg

[@laurabagley5]

Surprisingly beautiful skyline 🤩 great vid!

[@CityGeek]

Thank you!

[@diodelvino3048]

and its still growing

[@domo148900]

Nice video. Charlotte is home to Carowinds Amusement Park one of the best theme parks for Roller Coasters in the country. Worth the trip there alone.

[@CityGeek]

Thanks! And thanks for bringing up Carowinds! I probably should have included it.

[@tyrcipher8811]

The funny part is only half of it is charlotte. The border for North and South Carolina run straight down the middle. The Sorth Carolina half is in Fort Mill.

[@LeveyHere]

Great video as always! And at 1:16 I believe you said 1949, instead of 1849? Just pointing that out, but great one as usual! They're always interesting to watch.

[@CityGeek]

Thank you! And nice catch! I definitely meant 1849, haha.

[@loronetrulliot2606]

Charlotte has a beautiful skyline especially at night

[@VentureAddicts]

Love your ability to condense your information and research into an easy to watch video, keep it up and let’s collaborate soon 🙏

[@CityGeek]

Wow, thank you so much! That means a lot. And I’d love to collaborate at some point 😊

[@zippygreff]

Amazing job! I have seen you channel double, and I hope to see it again! Good luck!

[@CityGeek]

Thank you so much for the support!

[@alfredo9445]

Nicely done, all around. I was disappointed when it ended. Thanks. !!!

[@CityGeek]

Thank you!!

[@Steveofthejungle8]

Just found your channel and loving it! I’d love to see videos on Chicago, Indy, or Anchorage!

[@CityGeek]

Thank you! And thanks for the suggestions! I'll be sure to get to all of those cities 😀

[@irmakalember9403]

Go visit Chicago. Is my home city its beautiful. Lots of culture lots of things to do

[@natechampchurch]

Loved the video! Subscribed because I love city informational videos like this, thanks for putting out this content. I did want to correct one thing though - the "Sing The Queen City" sign at 0:48 is actually in Cincinnati, OH not Charlotte, NC. They are both nicknamed "The Queen City".

[@CityGeek]

Thank you!! And thanks for providing that correction! I’ll make a note of that in the bio of the video.

[@laurabagley5]

Would you consider doing a video of YOUR top 10 skylines? I always like your take on them

[@CityGeek]

Yeah I’ll totally make a video ranking my favorite skylines. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@berlin1926]

Charlotte's "Uptown" is called "Uptown" because of the elevation of the center of the city. The intersection of Trade and Tryon Streets is the high point in the city center.

[@CityGeek]

That is interesting! Thanks for pointing that out!

[@xaviercason6978]

We call it downtown if you from the norfside

[@SnarkfishMan]

City center, yes, in the city, no

[@bagfam7]

I want to go there! Especially the whitewater complex and NASCAR museum.

[@CityGeek]

Yeah I kind of want to move there!

[@shanaaynay69]

Another banger of a video!

[@CityGeek]

Thank you!!

[@AugustWithTheShade]

I had to subscribe I love this video i from charlotte

[@CityGeek]

Thanks! Yeah Charlotte is great 👍

[@DavidThomas-xe2mb]

Uptown is actually a historical name for the city. Since the city was settled on a trading path in a very hilly region, the Paths would be laid out on the ridge lines to avoid flooding of the route. so the Main Street and the original intersection are at a higher altitude than the rest of the Center City, so the original residents referred to the central section as "Up'Town".

[@jasongoldtrap1114]

You'll never forget seeing the Disco Chicken outside of the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art

[@andydrews4439]

Thank you for showing Charlotte love!

[@anthony_rivera4735]

Charlotte is home to several sports teams such as NFL's Carolina Panthers, NBA's Charlotte Hornets (originally Charlotte Bobcats), MLS's Charlotte FC, AHL's Charlotte Checkers and Triple-A Charlotte Knights. From 1988-2002 there was a different Charlotte Hornets franchise, but moved to New Orleans in 2002 and in 2014 they rebranded themselves as the Pelicans.

[@rkpopinions1193]

Charlotte has got lot of museums I must say !

[@WilliamCrew]

Nice video! I went to Charlotte for vacation this past July and loved it. I am planning on another vacation down there. You should have also included Southpark Mall on your video.

[@CityGeek]

Thank you!!

[@marxistleninistenthusiast]

At 0:47 you showed Cincinnati instead of Charlotte although I understand since they both have the same nickname

[@CityGeek]

Great catch! I figured it was Charlotte so thanks for pointing that out!

[@pghrpg4065]

I like visiting Charlotte. The last time I was there (September 2019), we looked for that head but it seemed to be gone.

[@shade0762]

What are your top 10 Skylines? Mine are no particular order: Pittsburgh, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Dallas, Miami, Tampa, San Francisco and toss up between LA and San Diego.

[@AJKPenguin]

They drive extremely fast in downtown. My parents had trouble keeping up.

[@SnarkfishMan]

Beautiful skyline, big airport, and big crime

[@griggins6205]

Princess/Queen Charlotte was quite beautiful.

[@alangoodwin1500]

The Mint Museum is not in the building that used to house the mint. It is in a fairly new purpose-built museum building.

[@seastheday956]

Please do video of Greensboro.

[@CityGeek]

I'll add it to the list!

[@JasonSuchanek-hx2mr]

That Queen City capture in the first minute is actually in Cincinnati. Cincinnati nickname is Queen City as well

[@jerrydavis3548]

Nice video when you gone do Houston

[@CityGeek]

Thank you! I think I'll get to Houston sometime toward the end of the year.

[@jake20012001]

Great job however being a born and raised Charlottean I'd like to correct a couple of minor mistakes. The Museum of the the New South is not pronounced la vine. It's named after 1 of Charlotte's wealthiest families. It's pronounced la veen. Also as a 61 year citizen black born and raised citizen. We say downtown Charlotte. The more elite may say uptown because they visit the upper floors of the building we they visit the city. But the common man we dwell at street level. Thus we say we're going downtown. Bill Cosby made a movie called uptown Saturday night. That kind of illustrates this point. Fancy high dollar establishments your going uptown. Common person casual establishments your going downtown. I'm common so I'm a downtown guy. I have been uptown on a few occasions though. And trust me you see the difference.

[@dvferyance]

Now I know how the Charlotte Hornets got their name.

[@shade0762]

Never knew Charlotte was bigger than Atlanta? I was surprised when you said it was the second largest city in Southeast after Jacksonville.

[@GAURAV25855ify]

It sure is its also indy nascar they got aome famous people from there like Ric Flair and his daughter charlotte

[@chetyubetcha7150]

Awesome video but there is no way California had a gold rush in 1948, Cornwallis wasn’t pushed out of Charlotte either lol but awesome video!

[@CityGeek]

Whoops, I missed that! thanks for pointing that out!

[@chetyubetcha7150]

You make awesome videos! Keep going friend!

[@Shane98]

you should do pittsburgh 👍

[@CityGeek]

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll actually be visiting Pittsburgh next week and will then make a video within the next couple of months 😊

[@nicoled8349]

welp now i wanna go to Charlotte NC lol

[@TylerLore]

The "Queen City" is Cincinnati. The video you showed was even from Cincinnati.

[@AS-oc8lt]

Wrong. Charlotte was named after a queen.

[@TylerLore]

@@AS-oc8lt I live in Cincinnati and the video clip here was literally the Cincinnati skyline. lol

[@AS-oc8lt]

@@TylerLore yes....at 0:49 there's a brief picture of the disappointing Cincinnati skyline, definitely an error on the uploaders part. But the remaining video is 100% Charlotte's skyline

[@TylerLore]

@@AS-oc8lt bad experience in Cincy? Lol I didn't say the rest wasn't accurate. Just pointing out the error.

[@AS-oc8lt]

@@TylerLore lol nah, driven through it once and just was disappointed. Kinda like Richmond VA

[@jarvisstradford7211]

I don't know why read the 16th largest city if we got over 900000 thousand people. Well I am with you I love the skyscrapers in uptown

[@CityGeek]

Yeah the skyscrapers in the city are amazing!

[@RudolphManor]

The Home Of K-Ci & Jo Jo Of Jodeci. 💯

[@casanovafrankenstein8538]

why does Charlotte have such an irregular street pattern, seems a little confusing and driving could be irritating

[@GAURAV25855ify]

Charlotte is better then Atlanta and chicago

[@TheREALTRAMP69]

Agree

[@k3nn3thinatl]

😂

[@TheREALTRAMP69]

Apparently this guy don’t know what a planned city is. But I can tell u atlant definitely ain’t one.

[@ronaldpippen8164]

There are too many yankees.

[@vincepirrone4715]

If that helps you sleep at night, so be it

[@kingdomofgarvin3432]

That's what's up

[@HasanibnSabah]

It has grown and prospered but list it's flavor IMO.

[@jerrydavis3548]

Metro Population is 3million now it is more than 2.6million more like 2.8 million or 3million now

[@CityGeek]

Interesting. Everything I've found shows it as being closer to 2.6. I guess it all depends on where they draw the lines. Thanks for the comment!

[@bmorecmore2323]

Good info, yeah charlottes approaching 3 million quickly

[@Mothmann.]

​@@CityGeekYeah that's in 2020. It's much closer to 3 million now and rapidly growing.

[@franklingreen4719]
