CHARLOTTE, NC — Two North Carolina cities have made National Geographic’s list of Small U.S. Cities On the Rise, joining a group of 27 other cities lauded in 10 categories of "superlatives."
The superlatives were compiled, according to authors George Stone and Amy Alipio, using "unconventional metrics that we think lead to happiness: green spaces, galleries, coffee shops, breweries, music venues, Instagrammable moments, and more."
The superlatives for the two Tar Heel cities deemed standouts by National Geographic Traveler might not come as big surprises. Asheville, N.C. was called "Most Artsy," and "Sudsiest," and Hickory, N.C. was said to be "Hipster Friendly."
South Carolina’s biggest cities fared well in the list, as well. Charleston, S.C. was called "Most Instagramed" and "Most Artsy. Carnivores rule in Columbia and Greenville, which were both called "Meatiest." Columbia also racked up a designation as "Best Groomed."
