From the previous post at the hockey game, while I was in Charlotte, took a couple of quick photos prior to the game. Really enjoy going to Charlotte, where there is a lot of things to see and do. The city is home to a an NBA team, an NFL team, an
AHL hockey team, and a AAA baseball team (though the team actually plays right across the state line in South Carolina). There have been some plans in the works to bring that team to the city; though it is an on-going process. Charlotte has a number of interesting parks. Charlotte is the largest city in North Carolina, and its airport is one of the 10
th busiest in the United States, as well as one of the busiest in the world.
In the years I have been there, the city has added quite a number of new buildings. In
comparison to Richmond it is a much larger city both in population and area. One thing that is very different about Charlotte is that many of the older buildings (the city dates to before the Revolutionary War) have been torn down, so there is very little "history" as you find in Richmond. Most of the city is new construction with little or no of the re-use you see in Richmond (which adds a great deal of charm to Richmond in my opinion). The city is also home to many great museums, the NASCAR Hall of Fame (plus most NASCAR race teams are located nearby, as well as Charlotte Motor Speedway which is actually in Concord, NC) and offers a wide variety of things to see and do. It is an interesting and fun city to explore, and I have enjoyed wandering around it....and still do.
