How can our team call themselves the "Carolina" Panthers when our stadium only caters to Charlotte locals?
I propose a new design for BoA Stadium, befitting of the Queen City. It hearkens back to the iconic appearance of the current stadium, but with modern Charlotte style.

Since thousands of people from all over the Carolinas just attended the Yiasou Greek Festival in Dilworth, I think a high-end restaurant will be just fine. Calm down folks.
A Charlotte restaurant couple wants to save a historic building from demolition. Sounds like something we can all get behind, right?
Not if it means adding to parking headaches. charlotte.axios.com/339853/l…
These newly built townhomes are 1:1 parking-to-unit as well, with the parking-free floor plans dubbed “Commuter” 💪

Headed to @CLTAirport?
@SEIU workers have been dealing with extreme heat & are marching for basic improvements, like water & areas to cool off. When people are working in conditions with extreme heat, we have to take care of them. @WFAE #PovertyDoesntFly

Imagine connecting these airports to rail first. The low-speed Piedmont line is a sufficient plane alternative, but CLT is a hub airport and passengers have no seamless way to connect to a train.
Last month, 80K+ passengers flew between Raleigh & Charlotte, just 130 miles apart. Bologna & Milan, with a similar combined population and distance, have 60 daily trains each way. Imagine connecting 40% of NC's population in 90 mins via high-speed rail?

Citizen action is not a replacement for municipal responsibility. But when the municipality is consistently irresponsible, I’m glad citizens take action.

Driving a car is essential for the elderly to stay mobile, up until the point that it becomes unsafe or impossible. At that point, the car-first way we design our public spaces becomes inconvenient and/or treacherous for the most vulnerable in our population.

Fatal collisions should not be possible on a residential street. This street was not designed with consideration for an impaired, teenage driver behind the wheel of an SUV.
