CHARLOTTE – With a population of 874,579 as proclaimed by the last census, the Queen City of Charlotte is the 16th most populous city in the U. S. but maintains a small-town feel. Like Atlanta in the Sixties.

There is traffic, but it is not debilitating. There are other problems that all growing cities often experience, but you find far more positives about Charlotte than negatives. It is a fun place to visit and about 85 people a day take up residence here.

There are sports teams, golf courses and trendy restaurants. It is a long way from Pontotoc, Mississippi, which is where Wesley Walls hails from.
