Blogging from Charlotte

I'm in Charlotte on business for a few days, and this is my first visit to the city. Although I will admit that I have seen little outside of about six square blocks downtown, I really like what I have seen.

My two favorite things are the big trees that line all of the downtown streets and the countdown timers on the walk/don't walk signs. (As you approach the crosswalks you know from a reasonable distance how much time is left on the light and whether it is worth hurrying.)

I will be back someday to further explore the city and the area.
