The New ‘It' City: Does Charlotte Beat Nashville?

A Music City vs. NASCAR showdown is happening as we speak.

Two Southern cities are among the hot spots of development as scores of millennials and Generation Z keep flocking to them in droves. In many ways the cities may feel similar, especially on the real estate development radar.

Industry experts say Nashville is hot. But the thing is, Charlotte is on fire.

Black Friday, the infamous U.S. shopping holiday known for bad behavior among deal seekers, who traditionally line up well before the crack of dawn to churn billions of dollars into the economy, may be on its deathbed.

But it's not dead yet. That's because despite data that shows shoppers think Black Friday is the most stressful time to shop — not to mention the meteoric rise of e-commerce that fuels the apocalyptic foretelling of brick-and-mortar retail's demise — Black Friday is still the No. 1 sales weekend of the year.

6 Little Luxuries Baby Boomers Could Give Up And Buy Every Millennial A House

Millennials are having the same problems affording homes in big cities across the world. They are frequently being told they are too extravagant and need to save more to afford a deposit, usually by members of an older generation who benefited from decades of inflation in the price of their homes, jobs for life and gold-plated pensions.
