I will be driving on a 4 day trip through North Carolina, a bit of SC and Atlanta and am looking for tips and suggestions.
I will only get to spend an extremely limited time in each place (24 hours in Atlanta, about 8-10 hours in Charlotte, 4-5 hours in Asheville, perhaps 3-4 in greensboro/winston salem, so please do not suggest anything really time consuming!!
I visited most of the major city neighborhoods in Atlanta in 1998. Has a lot changed since then?
I'd like to visit the northern suburbs of Atlanta (yep, i know, probably sprawslville), is there any places of interest in cobb, fulton and gwinett counties other perhaps malls and buford hwy??
how are the following communities different? Marietta, Buford, Kennesaw, Alpharetta, Duluth, Sandy Springs?
Is there anything of interest on the south, west and east sides other than decatur/stone mountain? Any interesting ethnic communities in Atlanta other than the buford hwy corridor?
This is my first time to Charlotte, Asheville and the Triad, so i'd like to see the general neighborhoods in town and NO i probably won't have time to see the biltmore!
Recommendations for nightlife, neighborhoods, attractions and restaurants for Charlotte, Asheville and the Triad would be greatly appreciated. I'm especially looking forward to seeing one of the most discussed cities on this board (Charlotte), so a good rundown of places, neighborhoods and hotspots would be greatly appreciated.
In addition, i was wondering if anyone could recommend any nice small towns or historic areas to visit in NC. I'll also be passing thorugh greenville and spartanburg, sc, hickory,nc, kannapolis, nc and the triangle (which i have visited before), what are these towns like? Anything of interest?
Thanks for your help!
