Wich cities are the king and queen of the south?

[brodieseyes]

Who do you guys think are the south's king and queen when it comes to cities??

[monsoon]

Maybe a definition of what constitutes a King vs Queen city would help.

idk basically just who are your two most favorite cities in the south i guess.

[teshadoh]

'Atlanta' is female, most cities are reffered to as feminine. Maybe Birmingham - due to Vulcan - is male?

But that isn't a choice.

I voted Charleston as King, since it was actually named after one and is one of the South's oldest cities and a national treasure. That and I'm biased to SC.

I voted Charlotte as Queen, since it was actually named after one, thus the nickname "The Queen City."

krazeeboi, I love your explanation. That is what I would have done too, but then I began thinking more in terms of economy. Atlanta is "king" of the Southeast. Charlotte is "queen" of the Southeast.

[krazeeboi]

If we're looking at economy and population, the obvious contenders would only be Atlanta, Miami, Houston, and Dallas, IMO. Atlanta's case is pretty obvious. Miami's amount of foreign investment is staggering; downtown Miami has the largest concentration of international banks in the country. The Houston area only trails NYC in the number of F500 HQ's. The DFW metroplex is home to over 10,000 corporate headquarters making it home to the largest corporate headquarters concentration in the United States.

Houston is the king in economy and population.

OMG, this is so stupid!!!!

[krazeeboi]

Hush, Atlanta is getting majorly positive press here.

Only on Urbanplanet you get a poll like this

I agree. This is a rather juvenile "discussion." Just a reminder to me that they are actually teaching basic computer science to kindergarteners now. Appears the South may be ahead of the curve "in the classroom."

Trust me. This isn't the only forum.

[krazeeboi]

So which cities should be nominated "Drag King" and "Drag Queen" of the South?

[simms3]

We are starin to get borderline ridiculous over here !

ATL-----------King

&

Queen Charlotte

Our cities relationship will become the Southern version of the NYC/Boston relationship in 20+years. Are you ready for a Megalopolis ?!

I-85's ever reaching arm will have the King and Queen ruling together in no time

(BTW, this is a kind of silly poll but what the heck, right??)

[Aporkalypse]

Surprise, it's Atlanta and Charlotte.

I would've at least thought South Beach's rep would've made Miami the "queen".

[Lexy]

Only on Urbanplanet you get a poll like this

Exactly what I was thinking. Or at least with the results you have.

[krazeeboi]

I don't think the Nashville and Jacksonville forumers even try anymore.

[monsoon]

My advice is don't feed the kitties and they will go away.

[sonofaque86]

[Jerseyman4]

Ludacris would agree with you

[Newnan]
