The small towns roll up the sidewalks around 6pm.

So do the big towns like Atlanta, Raleigh, Charlotte, Orlando, Richmond, Houston, Norfolk, and Dallas, which is probably the result of the relatively high crime rates in those cities (as compared to NYC and Boston) and the lack of anything meaningful to do after 6:00 p.m.

Well, here in Athens, GA (an hour away from Atlanta) I've been downtown with lots to do until 3am before. There were still quite a lot of people there when I left too. We have a lot of late night concerts here on the weekends. I've also found plenty to do in Atlanta until 4-5am after I went to a concert there. Maybe you just weren't with the right people to take you to the right places?
