I made my 1st trip to Charlotte several weeks ago...here is a very limited view of what I saw.
First impressions
Very clean: mostly newer buildings without a lot of visible history
LOTS of new construction: several substantial new towers going up
Attractive downtown: lots of trees and beautiful buildings
Way too much khaki: it is a banking town afterall
Friendly people and great restaurants...I hope to get back soon and often.
Named after Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg
Bank of America Tower:
Hearst Tower:
Freedom Park:
