CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) – The “Queen City” may be Charlotte’s nickname, but the city now wears a new crown, America’s Manliest City.
According to a new study by the makers of COMBOS, Charlotte is the head honcho when it comes to manliness. Charlotte takes the top spot in 2010, improving one spot from the 2009 second place finished. Last year’s top city, Nashville, Tennessee dropped to fourth in the rankings.
The ranking process changed a little this year, using manly criteria like the number of home improvement stores, steak houses, pickup trucks and motorcycles per capita.
Last year’s rankings were based on criteria such as number of professional sports teams, popularity of power tools, and frequency of monster truck rallies.
NASCAR’s hold in Charlotte, helped in the rankings.
