~ Day Two ~

Charlotte

This first thing you need to know about Charlotte NC....you can't see the city. Unlike our dear Calgary...when you start travelling near it...it welcomes you with a vast sprawl of suburbia. Charlotte there are trees. Like crazy amounts of trees. You can't tell how large communities are, how far the next road takes you, whether there it an overpass upcoming....THERE ARE TOO MANY TREES! They are beautiful, don't get me wrong. Some of the brightest colors of fall I've ever seen...but really, it's crazines.

So Charlotte has a population of around 650,000, a decent size city. It's major industry is finance. Many large banks are based in Charlotte. Did you want to know this? Too bad, if not....cause I always like to know what the major industry of an area is. Why do people live here, why does it thrive? Everywhere I go...the question is always posed...."What is your industry?".

So to re-cap....Charlotte has lots of trees.
