We're sorry. Actually, no we're not.
You're 25 miles down I-77 from Charlotte, yet every pitch for your city starts with 'a vibrant suburb of Charlotte.' That's not a hometown slogan, that's a hostage note. Your biggest flex is that the amenities of a major city are 'just beyond the SC/NC border,' which is a polite way of saying you drive to North Carolina for everything.
You've got a velodrome, a BMX Supercross track, and the US Disc Golf Championships, and somehow that's your international reputation. Nothing says world-class like a town where the elite athletes are riding in circles and throwing plastic at chain baskets. Even the town's football talent went pro and, to be fair, never came back either.
Your cultural scene includes a telephone museum run by the same company that still provides your phone service. That's not a museum, that's an office with a gift shop. Add a fire department museum, and the most exciting thing in town is watching somebody else's old equipment get dusted.
Your dining scene leans on Texas Roadhouse and Chili's, which is what happens when a college town is also a Charlotte bedroom community. The locals do have the Dixie Pig and Old Town Kitchen's 'sipping sweet tea on the front porch' nostalgia, but the real nightlife is a chain restaurant parking lot. Rock Hill, you named a street 'Cherry Road' and then built every strip mall on it.
