Destination: CHARLOTTE: [the book]

Hundreds of full-color photographs and Greenawalt's narrative present a fascinating look at a vibrant American city. Business places, neighborhoods, churches, cultural festivals, sports, the arts -- it's all here, along with interviews and facts that put you right in the heart of a diverse, progressive city that still retains its Southern charm. "Charlotte's beauty, attractions and charm lure visitors from around the world," says Chamber of Commerce President Bob Morgan, "but the spirit of our people brings them back and them here." Former Mayor Harvey Gantt says, "Charlotte is a small town grown big, still a close knit community surrounded by the advantages of a big city."
