This video is a tool of the Charlotte Chamber's which is used to attract companies to the Queen City. This video captures the essence of what makes Charlotte the best place to live and work.
I've been ranking metro areas, retirement areas, and small towns across the U.S. since 1985. What the man said in the video is true. Charlotte does have the best combination of attributes that makes for a very high quality of life and standard of living, especially compared to other metro areas around the nation. Awesome Purchasing Power (annual income vs. cost of living), strong economy, great 4-season climate, the geographical center of the Carolinas, unique recreational assets, lots of outdoor activities, very nice people, clean/green/flowering, good healthcare, convenient to tons of day trips from the mountains to the beaches. It's just an incredible place to live. Very well done video!
Charlotte is 2nd only to New York as the most important banking center in the United States. It ranks 1st as the banking center that completes the most global transactions. Charlotte is also the most important center for marketing electric power, as Duke Energy is now the nation's top power producer. The city is a perfect example of what great things can happen when the government gets out of the way, and allows the spirit of entrepreneurship and free market to grow the economy.
I've lived here for YEARS and this video showed me so much I'm missing out on! Love it! I'm going to have to share it with some of my friends that want to visit!
I cant wait til me an my hubby can move here in 3 yrs when he get out the military Im in fayetteville nc born an raised an its so boring here ..way more to do in charlotte & bigger city~
We love how you've captured all that Charlotte is from so many different perspectives. Incorporating diversity in the voice-over and the richness of the cinematography further emphasizes the mosaic of ideas this wonderful city nurtures. We are very proud to be part of this community.
Truly outstanding video and it really places the finger on the pulse and heart of the city. Looking forward to many wonderful years here and continually proving that I made the right choice to leave Ft. Lauderdale for a real city with vision. Way to go, Charlotte!
You left out the fun strip Wilkerson Blvd and the Paper Doll. A hit with out of towners... Also, the weirdness of the place make it perfect for hatching the likes of Jim Bakker of PTLS and many other notorious characters
I love Charlotte. I'm currently going to school here, and I just love the city. Yes, there are some bad areas, but it's a city, what do you expect? I also had no idea for the longest time that Charlotte was a bigger city than Atlanta. By 23 places at that! This city is growing faster than most cities in this country and I can't wait to see what is to come.
Hope to see more of the fantastic businesses in Plaza Midwood in your next video. Great to see NoDa shops and all the rest that makes Charlotte a fantastic city. Why would you live anywhere else?
I'm new to Charlotte..so correct me if I am wrong..Isn’t the % of homeless individuals in the Queen city nearly double that of NYC? Is it true that on a given night, there are over 6,800 people sleeping on streets, in shelters, and living in places that are uninhabitable? Aren’t two-thirds of those individuals children?
I don't think so. www.acsh.org/news/2016/10/13/which-cities-have-most-homeless-people-10300 881 homeless per 100k population in NYC. Charlotte doesn't even rank.
