What a bizarre post. And, by the way, the 'International' designation for the airport isn't a Chamber of Commerce kind of thing, but rather an official designation that denotes that the airport has US Customs and border control facilities.

I've never understood why North Carolina has grown so much and some other southern states, particularly Alabama, has remained pretty much the same. What did they do to attract so many people and industries?

The Banks got into “mine is bigger than yours” battle in the 80’s - 90’s as I recall.

Those banks since merged, so much for thinking their legacy would be forever
