With the election finally behind us, it’s time now to figure out how to move forward as a united people. Up and down your street, you probably have neighbors who think and act pretty differently than you do. That’s part of what makes this country great. If everyone did everything the same, this would be a really boring place.
One outcome of this election, is that it has made people focus on their communities and their towns. We have a pretty great one here. Charlotte and surrounding areas have so many great places to play, eat, be outside, watch a game, see a show, peruse a museum and on and on.
Charlotte is now the largest city in the state of North Carolina. It is also the second largest city in the Southeastern United States behind Jacksonville, Florida. Charlotte was listed this year as the 13th fastest growing city in the nation by Forbes.
We have the best weather, four distinct seasons, but rarely bitter winter weather or scorching summer temps. We are located right in the middle between the mountains and the beach for easy weekend trips. World class companies are headquartered here. NFL football, NBA basketball, minor league baseball, and NASCAR all call us home.
Charlotte is also home to amazing water features. Lakes Norman and Wylie are big draws for boaters. The catawba river has hiking, mountain biking, the whitewater training center, and more.
Charlotte is home to many institutions of higher learning. University of North Carolina Charlotte, Queens University, Johnson C. Smith University, Central Piedmont Community College, Johnson and Wales University, Davidson College, Belmont Abbey College, Wingate University and Winthrop University all help draw young people to the region.
Charlotte has a plethora of museums and theaters and a thriving artist community. Fabulous parks can be found throughout the city for exercise and fresh air. We even have quirky little places like the Lazy 5 Ranch drive through zoo.
