Does the Charleston figure include Mt. Pleasant? Mt. Pleasant has exploded in the last 10 years.
Charleston is a destination. Knoxville isn't, except for 7 weekends a year.
All this comparing of cities got me looking into Raleigh, Nc. Ive been there several times, but wouldnt have guessed that it has a population 4 times the size of Knoxville.
That really has me scratching my head as to why the SEC didnt add NCSU over Mizzery.
Also, Im aware weve ventured quite a ways from Knoxville Restaurants, but this new conversation is refreshing. Weve beaten the craft beer specials to death
Meh, its ok because we are still kind of talking Knox restaurants and such.All this comparing of cities got me looking into Raleigh, Nc. Ive been there several times, but wouldnt have guessed that it has a population 4 times the size of Knoxville.

Charleston has a beach, Knoxville has the mountains. The cities are actually very similar when you look into it.
It's funny how a lot of locals blow off the proximity and allure of the mountains. GSMNP is the most visited park in the country by a mile, with 11+ million visitors/yr, not including the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge-only crowd (another approx 11 million). Add in the hundreds of miles of lakes and rivers, and Knoxville is nearly-unmatched in outdoor/natural attraction.
The reason I don't think the two are comparable is because Charleston has the charm of an historic town. Knoxville doesn't have that. Historic southern towns thrive on what Charleston has, and stores like Dumas and Sons are the pinnacle of historic southern town haberdasheries.
I agree, although I'm really not that swayed by haberdasheries.
