Because a company has operations in cities that aren't their home city doesn't qualify that city to be known as a "headquarters." If that's the case for you, I guess AT&T, Microsoft, IBM, ect are all headquartered in Charlotte as well.
There are countless surface lots in downtown Charlotte currently that will be used for expansion if needed, not to mention development could easily begin across I-277. Raleigh doesn't even have an interstate near it's downtown, so there's the end of that.
Majority of the restaurants that would be on par with downtown Charlotte's would be found at Southpoint or North Hills. Definitely not in downtown.
Rihanna is commercially successful? She releases album after album to stay relevant, much like Raleigh and the boosters about how you have top notch education.As compared to Beyonce, who is obviously more vocally talented, can dance, act, has countless endorsements, has sold more than Rihanna with less albums, and is worth over 5 times the amount Rihanna is worth.
Are you done digging yourself in the hole now?
Asdfghhjklkjhgfdsa at the Stan analogy I found on a city vs city thread on City-Data. The bolded unstriked part sounds JUST LIKE a comment I usually see on here.The thing is that that site isn't even a music forum like this.
I finally listened to Ciara's album.
Oh god. Its so bad, minus the 1st two singles.
I tried, i really did.
I don't even like "I'm Out". I really only like BP, RML, and a bit of WYG, but the album as a whole is so, so disappointing. No wonder no one bought it.
Not Project Bitch. 
I can't even pretend I ain't love this tho.
That's really sweet.
