The queen (city) is invading
Because apparently we don't have enough fun and games with our own city council, the City of Charlotte is exporting its honorables to us. From a release fresh out of my e-mail:
Charlotte Mayor Patrick McCrory and the members of the Charlotte City Council will take a bus and walking tour of Greensboro, North Carolina, as part of their annual planning retreat being held at the Grandover Resort Wednesday, January 30 - Friday, February 1, 2008. The Tour of Greensboro will be conducted on Thursday, January 31 from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Highlights of the tour will include a visit to the Southside Neighborhood area, the Depot, and various Downtown locations, particularly to look at the variety of housing stock and economic development projects in Greensboro.
Would it be skeptical of me to suggest that Charlotte's interest in the Gate City and the accompanying publicity has something to do with McCrory's nascent bid for governor? Well, there, I did it anyway.
