Fact Friday 6 - NBA All-Star Weekend in Charlotte
We recently highlighted that for the first time since 1991, Charlotte landed the NBA All-Star Game, which will be held right here at home in 2017! WFAE recently uploaded an interesting post about how Charlotte almost didn’t land the big game. If you haven’t given it a listen, its pretty interesting.
