Fact Friday

Fact Friday is our weekly look at Charlotte history, one story at a time. Since 2015 we've told more than 450 of them: the landmarks, neighborhoods and people that shaped the Queen City, plus a few ghost stories. New posts go up every Friday. Start with the history of the 704.

Looking beyond Charlotte? Our Neighborhood of the Week visits a new neighborhood every Tuesday.
