Charlotte, North Carolina
Charlotte was established in 1768 and named for Queen Charlotte, who came to England from Mecklenburg-Strelitz in Germany. A lot has changed since then, and a lot has changed in your own lifetime too. Think about the Charlotte you first knew: the streets, the stores, the skyline. Describing it now gives someone years from now a view of the city they could never get from a photo alone, and it keeps your version of the place in your own words.
Charlotte's money story reaches back to the years after the Revolutionary War, when gold was found nearby and mints and banks followed. In time the city came to be known as the banking capital of the South. Maybe you work in an uptown tower, or maybe you remember when there were far fewer of them. Work is a big part of a life. Tell your family and friends what you did, what you were proud of and what you learned along the way.
Racing fans have a home here: the NASCAR Hall of Fame opened in Uptown Charlotte in 2010. Some folks grew up hearing engines on a Sunday; others could not care less and have their own weekend rituals. Either way, how you spend your free time says who you are. Your favorite team, your Saturday habits, the friends you meet up with: these are the details that bring a person to life on the page.
