Your neighborhood. Your news.
New towers are rising on Camden Road and South Boulevard faster than longtime residents can track. Charlotte's South End is in the middle of the most sustained development surge in its history, and the questions it raises are not simple ones.
In a neighborhood of glass towers and chain restaurants, the 7th Street Public Market has built something that corporate capital cannot replicate: a place where local food entrepreneurs find their footing and Charlotte finds out who its next great restaurateurs are going to be.
On North Graham Street, a former Ford assembly plant has been transformed into something Charlotte did not know it needed: a place where industrial history and creative ambition occupy the same space, and neither one apologizes for the other.
The club is no longer new. The fans are no longer patient with novelty alone. Charlotte FC's third MLS season begins with something its first two did not have: a city that expects to win.
