Charlotte Needs Mass Transit, Like, Now

It's four minutes to tip and the arena is maybe? half full. Now I know I could insert a joke about late arriving UNC fans in here very easily, but I'm going to take a high road. I'm betting that a bunch of fans from the Triad and the Triangle are stuck on 85 somewhere around the Concord outlets. Seriously, this city has gotten way too big to not have some form of mass transit. And no, the light rail in downtown, err, uptown doesn't count.

Other interesting pre-game note. As Wazzou came out for its final shootaround, the UNC band played "Who are You?" by The Who. Nice touch.

If you live in Charlotte, you know we still need more attractions. What about a new version of a China town? There is one in Philadelphia and it is a big draw. There is nothing like this in the south. As we all know, the Asian population in Charlotte is growing. This would raise tax revenue and bring more people to Charlotte for the weekend.
