Hello,

I would like opinions on Nashville vs. Charlotte. Which city would you relocate
to if you had the choice? I am from the Bay Area and looking for the
best one..

By Charlotte, I assume you mean Charlotte NC? Or are you referring to the Nashville suburb of Charlotte?

If you mean Charlotte NC, I guess it depends on what you're looking for. What kind of job do you have? Charlotte NC can't be beat if you want a job with a financial institution. However, Nashville beats Charlotte when it comes to jobs in higher education and the entertainment industry. Nashville is also a hotbed of jobs in the medical field.

Charlotte has a larger airport, but Nashville has more government jobs since it's a state capital. Charlotte is closer to the Smoky Mountains and is also closer to the ocean.

I personally prefer Nashville; I think Nashville is easier to navigate than Charlotte (more freeways in Nashville), and I like the character of Nashville. I like the fact that Nashville has a very active live music scene. I also like the older neighborhoods of Nashville, particularly those around some of the colleges like Vanderbilt and Belmont.

Charlotte, NC is what I meant, sorry for the confusion.

Nashville sounds better even though Charlotte is
more popular as a relocation spot.

If you're going to rehash an 18-month-old thread to tout the amenities of Charlotte, you should also mention how you guys have gotten HAMMERED by the financial crisis worse than any city except New York.

Lived in NC and am now looking at TN. So far TN is MUCH the better choice.
