Because of a conversation I had with [Poll #1763689]My apologies for the US-centric nature of the regional options, but I'm most interested in whether it's a regional dialect thing within the States or not. Thanks for voting!

Well, Charlotte's a lot bigger? I dunno.

I think, actually, that Jacksonville is a little bigger, both population and land mass wise. It's just that it's never developed into a city. :/ It's still just basically a small town spread out over a fuckton of land.

You're right; Jacksonville is bigger. The Charlotte metro area is bigger, though. I dunno, I haven't actually been to Florida since I was 9.

It is. Jacksonville's metro area consists of banks and companies and downtown is just generally businesses all around. I haven't been to Charlotte proper in a couple of years, but its airport *is* one of my favorite hubs to fly through? Ugh, but seriously, Jacksonville. So completely made of fail.

Charlotte's downtown was a lot like that for a long time; it's only in the last 15 years or so that a huge effort has been made to give it more variety/nightlight/whatever. The airport is a huge one, comparatively speaking, like in the top 15 in the world in terms of traffic.

The last time I went to Jacksonville was aaaaaages ago, back when my grandmother lived in Lake City, but she moved to the mountains of North Carolina ten years ago, so.

Jax keeps saying they're going to do something, but so far, nothing. Downtown still remains lifeless after five o'clock.

Oh, man. I'm ridiculously familiar with Charlotte's airport. I've flown through so many times, I feel like I know it better than I know the Northside.

That's a bummer. :(

Oh goodness, wow. I know it ridiculous well, but that's kind of to be expected.
