Don’t expect to hear too many southern accents in the melting pot that is Charlotte. The biggest city in the North Carolina, Charlotte offers vacations that are more an urban experience than a down-home one. But this is not even half the fun of visiting the thriving, forward-focused city. The local custom here isn’t preserving the old, but building the new.
Although a cause of controversy, this tradition is responsible for Uptown Charlotte’s ultramodern feel. Without a doubt, it is also the reason why this city has given rise to so many museums, chic lofts and brand-new sporting complexes. This absence of dwelling in the past draws people from around the country out to begin new lives, as well as establish galleries, restaurants and high-concept bars. While things here are always in motion, this should not be a cause for despair among history buffs on holidays to North Carolina, as bits and pieces of the city’s past continue to linger.
